  • Must Go!

    Absolutely charming

    by mediaaddict

    I can't rave enough about this movie. I saw it with a couple of friends. We all loved it. It's a shame that it's not getting a wider release in the US. If it is near you, I urge you to go see it! It's such a funny, charming movie.

    This is a great movie that deserves to be watch by everyone. Too bad the critics didn't quite like it, goes to show you what they know.
