Summary: Schmaltz, schmaltz everywhere.

I just read the other review of this movie, and since I disagree with the
recommendation, I thought I'd post my views.
    OK, the movie was good-looking, bright, funny, touching....
  
     BUT

     I was expecting a bit more.

     The movie runs like an old cliche. It's almost like a Disney film
in the incredibly unsophisticated way it characterizes.  If you're 
willing to be charmed by it, then fine, go see it.
     But if you are expecting a little more than B-movie archetypes, 
stay away.  The characters are just cave-people versions of old familiar
faces.  Most of the lines are seen before they arrive.  
      I will admit that I was entertained. The overall craftsmanship ofthe
film was good.  Costuming, makeup, photography, etc.  But then, I saw the
film for free.

      Let me try and summarize:  It was a charming movie.

      In my mind, I would NOT pay $5.00 to see it, unless I was
feeling particularly sentimental and schmaltzy.
