Lo que de verdad importa

This is one of those films that exists to give us a light-hearted look at life.

It has all the ingredients of a story that gets you nodding in agreement, shaking your head in annoyance and smiling at the feel-good sections.

You may also feel your eyes filling up at times because the mix draws you in and pulls at your emotions.

So, settle down comfortably, get a box of tissues just in case, and enjoy a movie that has some mystery, a 'not so bad' baddie, minimal sex, no swearing and a fairy tale story line.

Well worth a viewing.

Wife and I enjoyed this one last night. Story about a screw-up, man-child that finds out his family has the ability to heal people. It does a lot of back and forth of maturing with him but overall a fun ride. The scenery is beautiful. Good for the whole family.

Watched this on Netflix last night when the worlds in lockdown and we need some feel good vibes, this movie ticks all the boxes, and everything all the family of all ages can enjoy, leave your head and expectations at the door and just watch it as it's meant for. We all enjoyed this immensely. Left me feeling with a warm glow.

If you want to watch a light-hearted feel good movie with the family, this would certainly be it. It has a bit of everything, which appears to have disappointed some reviewers who were trying to put this movie into a specific genre box. There was some intrigue, comedy, romance and magic. The actors did a fine job and you did start connecting with them in spite of the brief time some of them were on screen. Overall, a fun movie to watch with a good message to boot.

Loved the dedication to Paul Newman in the credits as I'm a big fan of his Hole in the Wall camp. A TV quality script (think Hallmark Channel) but elevated with the likes of Jonathan Price and especially the lead performance by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, whose wide range of emotions was fully credible and moving at times. Held my attention and, these days, such warm-hearted films are a welcome panacea to the mean-spirited nature of our politics. We could all use a lesson or two in being more aware of the suffering of others and what extending a kind word or deed can do to alleviate suffering. Embrace the message and the spirit of this gift.
