Summary: An easy watch, but not exactly great
Comment: This is an easy film to watch. The cast is beautiful, and the characters they portray are believeable. There are not a lot of characters, so it is easy to keep track of the plot without getting lost. The story is very linear and follows a very logical progression.
The story itself is OK, if not exactly great. It is one of those idealistic stories that really makes you think about yourself and what you find important, but the primary plot is not something that would take place in the real world. It is an emotional movie, and should bring watery eyes to anybody watching it. Guys, gals, and older children should all enjoy this movie -- it did not appear targeted to any specific demographic, and had nothing in it which I considered objectionable.
At nearly two hours long, there are some things that were included in this film that could have been eliminated or shortened. The bench sequences never seemed to have complete closure -- so why include it? The "gift of work" sequence -- especially the post-hole digging -- was entirely too long. And although I have not read the book, and it is probably part of the original story, the whole "prisoner" sequence is completely out of place and totally unbelieveable -- a point at which I believe this film "jumps the shark".
Overall, this is a touching story and worth the time, if you ignore a major bump in the middle of the story.
