ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
