I just finished watching this on Netflix and was really pleasantly surprised.

I expected a stupid sappy comedy, but it turned into a movie with a lot of heart. It felt like old adventure movies I grew up with like the Goonies and E.T., and it did a great job of pulling me in and making me care about the characters.

It’s got it rough edges and there’s plenty that’s not remotely polished, but all in all it was worth the watch and I’m glad I stumbled on it.

I agree, watched it the other night not expecting much due to RT rating etc. But it had more character development than most blockbusters, story was ok... if not a little predictable, effects were decent, and it had a good sense of humour. Well worth a watch... just don't go in expecting something worthy of an oscar.
