Wow! I just finished watching it a few minutes ago and it brought a few tears. I would say that the movie had a VERY strong storyline and anyone who does not agree, simply does not understand it. The acting was superb and the movie was far more captivating than most big budget movies. The movie is about the innocence of childhood and the truth that children can be happy and make great memories amd have a good time if they just have a few close friends. As they say.... "a tour de force"
