AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
