REVIEW
I've been waiting to see this movie for so long! And I loved it! Loveble, witty, charming, touching in so many levels, not too cliche and very enjoyable. Just a love/family tale about smiles and cries of life which in the viewer's mind raises all sorts of important questions about life and love. Cast did a good job and the locations of the shooting were lovely. Yes, there are plot holes but with the story and execution like that, I don't really care. The creators did a fine job in balancing the comedic and dramatic elements of the story. It's light yet real in a way. Soundtrack is cool also. And in case you're having doubts because of the taveling (sci-fi factor in the movie). Don't worry, it's far from being predominant genre. Watchable, beautiful and a must see romantic comedy! 4/5
