I thought it was a really cute film. It wasn't great, but I'm glad I went to watch it. As long as you can embrace the cheesiness, its quite a good film. 7/10 from me.

not what I expected at all, don't like Jennifer Garner's agonised bambi acting, don't like emotional channel 5 style movies, don't like kids, don't like miracle baby stories, not fond of Disney movies.

However it was ok Sunday morning viewing, and surprisingly ....I liked it. Both kid leads weren't typical Disney kids anyway, they were likeable and flawed, AND it was nice to see the adults weren't in some golden handout jobs that seem to flourish in Disney...both were hardup working adults struggling to make a living (though that doesn't explain the detached gorgeous property). Garner was playing a housemaid, for goodness sakes.

Nice to see football/soccer being taken seriously by American families. Dread to think what kind of force the USA will have in world soccer in a few years time, they'll tear England apart.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

This was such a sweet story. I really fell for it. Beautiful family film. Lovely to see SunnySaver and her family as well.

I liked this film, unusual not typical of Disney which makes a change. 7/10.

I saw this at an only 10% full (90%) empty Greenwich Odeon yesterday. The screening room was freezing so we all kept are coats on, except for the noisy woman with children behind me, who w as obviously being kept warm by her mouth, which was continually flapping & the mug of tea that she had poured herself. I had to tell her to be quiet twice, since she clearly thought she was in her front room & was making more noise than her children!

Anyway, I really enjoyed this film, although I think was probably more suitable to channel 5 on a Sunday morning. Overall a sweet family film. 7/10

The code isn't working because all the tickets have been claimed.

That is the only code and I don't think Disney release more tickets as some agencies do.
