What a wonderfully, tender movie. Truly enjoyed it. Read the book and cried when it ended. Hannes Holm really captured the tenderness and love in the book.

Leeta of Mobile: You so perfectly captured the essence of this wonderful film in one short sentence! I hope everyone who sees this is as moved as I was and recommends it to their friends. Bravo, Hannes Holm!
Brilliant. The combination of sadness and humor was beautiful.
I listened to the audio book then was able to rent the movie - the movie follows the book right on! This is a touching story about love, friendship and new beginnings. It does have some very 'great' comic moments :) I highly recommend this movie.
