This movie was amazing. My wife and I laughed, cried, and ended the film filled with hope and happiness. It's ironical that it's a movie about letting go of baggage and resolving (i.e. completing) life's issues, and yet some people won't finish it. Their loss :( Get this movie, and also "King of Masks" and your life will be enriched :) ps, the short version isn't worth watching, it's only Steve's childhood scenes all together - seen that, done that, so obviously some people don't know what they're talking about.

I was suprised, but I loved this movie. It was a great movie about friendship, love and romance.

I expected to be entertained, and I was. What a cast! The fabulous Robert Carlyle was superb as usual. True enough, as some have said, it is not a really exciting movie. It is not a thrill ride. Your teenager will hate it. It's a truly unusual movie for people with a bit of maturity and patience. I suggest having some tissue ready - there are several very emotional moments - high and low. I found it an interesting tale and thought the movie was very well done, technically. I watched it three times and enjoyed it every time. You may not love it, but if you appreciate movies that defy typicality - it is absolutely worth your time to give it a chance!

This movie is sad, quirky and nice as even if the characters do wrong, they come back and apologize and do the right thing! Never see that any more!

While I prefer Robert Carlyle as a Cannibal (Ravenous) both my husband and I enjoyed this film. All your favorite character actors make an appearance and it's nice to see em all. Interesting storyline and characters, good dialog, this was funny, sad and touching. I'm glad I took a chance and rented this one, a nice change of pace from all those zombie movies! Very enjoyable and different.

I rented this on a whim and because I liked the actors in it, but I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. May not be for everyone, but I thought it was fantastic.
