Quite a surprise
1 April 2010
I was offered this movie viewing for free and didn't expect that much of it. I mean: sounded a bit too American (didn't quite get its Canadian origin until after the movie started) - for the emotionally challenged - but I've got to hand it to the producers behind this movie: it's actually quite great. The actors work together like hand in glove and the story behind the movie is actually rather well put together. I like the way the "gay" issue was handled: not as a pariah but as an alternative lifestyle... And I loved the kid actor. He is really not the usual hindrance for a good movie, as some kid actors are: he appears realistic, although a bit of a different kid, than I've usually seen. works well with the other actors.

I'm so adding this to my Feel Good Christmas Movie List.
