Anthony Hopkins was brilliant!

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2009)

First of all great film...Well directed and cast. The naivety and innocence of an elderly New Zealand citizen going to America and living his dream was truly heart-warming. I loved the scenes when he seemed lost and unable to cope with a faster paced and less naive American way of life. But, he was able to affect all those around them...once they overcame the preconception that he wasn't an eccentric, elderly "Babe lost in the woods." They became drawn to his passion and "Kiwi Ingenuity" which to me stole the show. (As a Kiwi I'm somewhat biased) Anthony Hopkins was brilliant in this piece. His accent as well as attitude portraying an elderly New Zealander was spot on in this piece. I could not discern him from non- New Zealand born citizen. film. Great work! True Genius...
