The acting was a tiny bit rocky at first, it ironed itself out as i watched. The whole vibe of the film and the music and storyline was great. I throughly enjoyed watching. Left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I will watch this again at some point. Wish ali fumiko whitney had music out! And Harry Connick Jr. Sounded great as well. I'm very impressed with this film, makes me want to just jump in and join the family dinners and bar nights.
