I would have loved this movie if it was released in the early 2000’s. Maybe not the best for teens to adults but I would still say it’s worth a watch for how original and well done the movie it. See more Maribel Aug 24 It was a better movie than I expected. I liked that it shows children that they could cope with grief in different ways. See more Jared Aug 23 Great movie!
