Recommended. This has a charming storyline, good performances, locations and background music. There is a bit of stereotyping with the gay guys and the looney, soon-to-be mother-in-law, but not in a negative way. The sub plot about the dot getting lost is a bit distracting but adds to the overall nuttiness of the story, especially with all the costumed kids looking for it. Overall, the multi-cultural aspect of this makes it appealing for a family audience. Whether you come from a similar background or not, we live in a time when so many people live amongst those different from them that tolerance is called for. For that reason, I highly recommend this for the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival for ages 8 to 18. I am concerned a bit about the video quality of this film because the image on filmfreeway seems pretty muted. I hope there is a better quality version available. For that reason, I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST! Juror
