Whimsy aside, sheer brilliance, 11 January 2002
Author: Carmo-2 from Sydney, Australia

That some users may scoff at the so called "inadequecies" of this film is a thoroughly depressing revelation for humanity. That there are people in this beautiful world of ours who can mock innocence, child-like wonder and human triumph is enough to reduce me to tears. Just like this film. Love. Human Love. Triumph. Joy. These are the ingredients for this stupendously delicious home cooked meal, and I, for one, am asking for seconds. And, I shall never laugh. And nor should you, gentle viewer, for this film will light up your nights, and restore your faith in humanity. It will make you believe again.
