After watching the first few minutes of this film, I was quite encouraged that it would turn out to be quite interesting and entertaining. Unfortunately, I turned out to be wrong.
The film seems to cover a very short period of time. It begins in summer (judging by how people are dressed) and ends in summer, all while school is in session.
It is basically, the story of a young (12-year-old) Israeli girl who moves to the US. She learns to speak English over the course of the film. She does not seem to change very much (other than learning to speak English) in the story.
The story is, as the summaries explain, the friendship between two non-native American girls in an American school.
I didn't feel there was anything particularly interesting about their story, or that it was told in a particularly interesting way. The promise of the first few minutes was, for me, never fulfilled.
