Folks .. Don't go by the negative comments of some of the people .. the film and the subject is good .. all face probs in life and have downfalls .. and how to fight and keep up your spirits .. go and watch out ... and the film is worth watching with your whole family ,... and the kidz would love the film ... I bet .. so do'nt waste time and watch this film .. it is very positive .. and definately not as sad and boring and negative like shaka laka boom boom ...and all actors including the kids and the doggie have done a good job ..
