Storyline
Featured review
Let's call this a "sick-day" movie.
First off, this film has it's problems - and obvious problems at that. Upon my first viewing I was instantly aware of issues such as the - at times - shaky acting, the jarring narration that crops up every now and again, weird voice effects and the slow pacing around the second act of the film.
However, despite all of these pet peeves, I continued to watch - because one of the greatest strengths of the film was it's originality. This story is not one which I feel has ever been done before, and I was desperate to find out where it was going and how it would end. Though the direction of the story was questionable at times, I can assure you it leads to a satisfying pay off at the end. Additionally, it has some great cinematography which is very pleasant to watch.
Overall, I call this a sick day movie, because it's the sort of film to watch when you're ill in bed and have the time to view something a little different that will hold your attention and give you something other than your flu to think about.
It's a sweet little film with it's ups and downs, that definitely creates something magical.
