Diabetic Beware!
This is such a sugary sentimental-feel good movie, that you might get an overdose by the end. Only redeeming quality is the acting, espescially Kristin Scott Thomas'. Premise is laughable. Be prepared for a leap of faith, and you'll be ok.
Does the job
While somewhat too sentimental, the three main characters are engaging and pretty credible, thanks to good acting. It's all very predictable, but be prepared for a guilty pleasure.
Likely to see
Not for me
