Inspirational and touching,Hopkins is outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2008)

This is a film that not a lot of people will see but those who have will be all the better for it.Anthony Hopkins delivers an outstanding performance in a touching and funny film that engages the heart and enriches the soul.Hopkins performance is central to the enjoyment of the film,his character is wonderfully naive,his dogged determination and vision to achieve his goal is truly inspirational.I challenge anyone to not get sucked into his performance and root for his character in much the same way we all rooted for Rocky in 1975 when everyone was against him.The films title wont grab anyones attention, there's no digital effects and no all star cast but with a story as good as this you just don't need the distraction of star names.This is the most unexpected fun I've had watching a film in a long long time.I would urge anyone who is feeling a bit down to give this film a chance as it is a life affirming piece that will have you feeling good and bring a smile to your face. Beautiful film full of heart.10/10
