I have a feeling that the 20 or so people who have rated this movie so high as of now are family/friends of the cast and crew. It was just OK. Some of the acting could have been better, not to mention the story line. But I think it is a good movie for families. Especially kids. Completely harmless but not a masterpiece worthy of such a high rating. But I did laugh a few times and a tear or two fell during some of the really "precious" moments. The little girl was very cute and thank God she didn't have a dog named Winn Dixie! All in all it wasn't a waste of time but I wish I had seen The Interpreter instead. My advice: Unless you have kids wait for the video. Or catch it on TV some rainy afternoon when you have nothing better to do. Better yet, if you want to see a good kid's movie, rent "Once in a Blue Moon" or "Harriet the Spy."
