this movie have a wonderful quality that would bring any distant family together . my child and i love watch it together . it nice to have a movie finally come out that everyone can enjoy . i highly recommend see it . emma thompson be so endearing . colin firth be such a lost soul try to avoid everything and everyone around him . angela landsbury be so over the top and but very funny . together they make such an interesting trio . the love and the comedy and the magic and and the unbelievable happy end make it more than just a fairy tale and they make it a story that make you wish that it be all happen to you . for child and it set their mind imagination into over drive . it send them to a place that let their mind run free to believe in everything on the big screen in front of them . for just an adult and i would say and it would be less special and a appose to an adult who have child to watch get engage with this magical movie .
