Quel tesoro di Diggity

I really enjoyed this film - Espectially Louise Lombard. Unfortunately Raymonds Georgia accent is contrived and horribly flawed - to the point that I became slightly embarrassed by it. Hint - a never-do-well southerner doesn't have the accent of southern aristocracy (even if he has a good heart)! Sad - because this is an absolutely charming film. It's a great story - extremely well written and not overly contrived. The setting is accurate and wonderful, though a bit narrow in scope, and the cinematography is top-notch. While it could have benefited from stronger directing - it still was charming and fun. Louise Lombard played the role with perfection The two things that save this film are Louise and the story-line. I certainly recommend this film - but you will have to concentrate on not laughing at Andrew McCarthy's poor interpretation of Raymonds character.

Andrew McCarthy does a good job as a southerner inheriting an English church. There's a wandering guinea pig. And Diggity is the orphan boy at the center of all the drama. Romance and a treasure: What more could you want? Angels of course!

If you watch this movie to hear accents you should be watching something else. I never noticed Raymonds accent not being from Georgia(unless you are from there who cares). Raymond's a loser from Georgia who inherits land in England. Raymond meets a town full of strangers and Diggity a boy who wants to earn his wings by helping Raymond and Rachel find their way in life. In the town is a crazy old man(Mr Slee) who is more interested in trying to find lost gold than to spend time with his orphaned grandson. Will Raymond sell his land with a broken down church and land which a family lives on? If you want to know watch the movie. This is a movie the whole family can sit and watch together with laughter.

People do not become Angels. Oranges do not become apples. Dogs do not become cats. Although this was a cute movie (except for the Georgia accent)-- and I'm a huge fan of "It's a Wonderful Life"--both movies perpetuate the incorrect teaching. When I die, I hope to become a saint in Heaven.

Actually a good movie with a slow start, but ends very well. The only bad part is the awful Georgia accent- Andrew needs to research his roles better. Otherwise this is a great movie, especially for kids
