I completely understand the love for this movie. It's easy to appreciate. A warm and charming film that also deals with some heavy-hearted issues. My only problem is the complete 'glossy' sentimentality of the whole piece. The direction felt like a forcing attempt to bestow a sweeping somber whimsy onto me. I never got all that invested into the characters to begin with, so none of it worked. This is a fine movie all-around. I'd definitely recommend it for some pleasant light entertainment. I just found it's strong attempt to swoon me somewhat disingenuous.
