"A feel-good comic ensembler that's hard to resist."

Variety

"Although it's a feel- good movie, it doesn't make you uncomfortable for being awed and getting misty-eyed."

—

The New York Times

"A smiling human comedy."

—

Roger Ebert

"Larkish, good-humoured and impossible to dislike, this is the kind of movie where you should treat with suspicion anyone who leaves the theatre unmoved."
