Of course such a "life is beautiful and we need to enjoy it more" movie would be overrated by the majority. "The people in the movie is awesome or good or not bad. No shades. So, we keep realism out of the movie and we focus on the story andOf course such a "life is beautiful and we need to enjoy it more" movie would be overrated by the majority. "The people in the movie is awesome or good or not bad. No shades. So, we keep realism out of the movie and we focus on the story and how is filmed.
Really cliché. The scenes start and you kind of know where they are going. All the little stories and characters are simple enough that you know how they would react, what they would do later, etc.

The score is the big difference here. Like Spielberg, without it, this would be kind of trash.

The acting is great. Even Robin Williams, which started like he always starts, but then he gets more real after the first act. When the line requires a sad reading of the line and no laughs or optimistic light, he does just that.

Its good and likeable and there's nothing wrong with that. Let's just not overrate it like is high in quality… Expand
