The "ugh" (it was an ugh not an urgh) was for the dreadful slogan 'When East meets Westfield'. The cinema was your typical VUE with steep slope so you have a great view. I did think the 3D was slightly out of focus at times but that may just be me. Glad you liked the film, Beate.

Is there much of a difference between an ugh and an urgh? Wouldn't want to offend anyone, LOL.

This was a teary one, but it stayed on the right side from being too schmaltzy. A strong supporting cast and the lead boy were very good. Sawyer's relationships with his family (particularly his cousin) and his new friends were very moving and there was something quite inspirational about the whole story.

I hope lots of people go to see it and are not put off by it appearing to be a children's film - I have to admit this would not have been my first choice on a cinema trip but glad I saw it - thought it was great. 9/10.

Saw this at Westfield yesterday. Really enjoyed this, such a lovely story. Lovely feelgood, heartwarming family film, with some heavy topics but done really well. The 3D worked this time for me, beautiful cinematography, colours really vibrant. As always, lovely to see Kris Kristofferson and Morgan Freeman. It was also great to see two 11 year olds showing the adults what can be done! Loved the dolphin "Winter", who plays herself. Wonderful. 10/10
