Really enjoyed this; whimsical, outright laugh out loud at times, tongue in cheek, and slyly outright funny. Yet at the same time it is touching and evocative, touching all the right heart spots. Absurd? Bizarre? Outlandish? Perhaps, but this is Sci-Fi and that is all about escapism and suspension of belief so....yeah, maybe a bit of a cookie out of the mold but I'll tell you this - I never once glanced at the time or allowed myself to become distracted - it kept my rapt attention throughout - hence the 5-stars.

Good stuff - isn't that why we watch movies? To be entertained? I do anyway. I do not watch a movie expecting it to be the next Best Picture winner; nor to prove I am smarter than the director or produce or writer. And I do not watch expecting the movie to be completely innovative or totally unexpected; there are only so many ways to develop a plot, to tell a story, to paint a picture. I watch to be entertained: frightened, scared, amused, touched, saddened, uplifted, or whatever... This movie entertained me and deserves a somewhat better rating than it has seen. Critics are....well, they are critical - their job, right? But as a old guy who just wants to be entertained, I say watch it and as long as you don't expect to see the next Academy Award winner, you'll have a good time.

Best movie I've seen in a number of years....
