I don’t know how they pulled off a lighthearted and comedic holocaust movie but by golly they did. It’s a bit slow starting off but then it really does turn into a great movie after about 30 minutes, once the child shows up really. There’s a very distinct line between the first and second half, the first half is pretty much a straight up romantic comedy and the second half is a tragedy with some comedic tones to it. I will say the kid was a bit too gullible for real life really but it’s a movie so I’ll let it slide. It isn’t also overly sad but it does have it’s moments, it could have done a bit better with the ending with the father especially. The ending does lack a lot of emotion that I was really expecting but overall I was entertained. I wasn’t expecting what I got and I wasn’t disappointed. I’ll probably give this another whirl in due time.
