      Audience Member It was very nice to watch, insects, butterflies... beautiful... however, kind of lackluster... it was cool to know that it was based on true life events. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member no se....la historia era muy prometedora, lindas tomas,buena música y con mucha enseñanza....pero el final .... fue como un"terminemos ya!!".... :( Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The patronizing, gratuitous sentimentality undermines what could and should have been a simple story of courage and beauty. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Film was cute but not the best. Living in Costa Rica caused me to want to see it. Chasing Morpho butterflies is truly a hobby of mine! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those movies that your grandma would love...and people who love the sentimental types that feel unintentionally awkward.. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was so touching Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 4, 2006 Full Review Ann Hornaday Washington Post The patronizing, gratuitous sentimentality undermines what could and should have been a simple story of courage and beauty. Dec 22, 2005 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Pete McCormack's script only occasionally yields to melodrama. Mostly it allows the characters to breathe freely, expressing a greater range of human emotion than just love and sympathy. Rated: 3/5 Mar 5, 2004 Full Review Eric Campos Film Threat Something like an unfunny version of "Dutch." Rated: 1/5 Jul 13, 2004 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1/5 May 4, 2004 Full Review Brendan Kelly Montreal Gazette Rated: 3/4 Apr 24, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
