Ratings and reviews

This film had so much potential, only to be let down by what can only be described as some of the worst acting I've ever seen. It's so hammy and contrived that it makes it uncomfortable to watch. If you enjoyed the book steer well clear of the film.

I haven't read the book so can't compare. The plot narratives were a little over simplified as expected. Drug use is a bit too forefront for family film though. I did enjoy it, there was a lighter side to the film as well and afew laughs, a great true story!!!

It's okay - a feel-good film with an interesting story, but not much more than that - it also plays it safe.
