This was a fine family movie. The characters were full and compelling, the story was believable, and the film was uplifting and positive. The soundtrack was also excellent. While some have offered critical reviews citing authenticity issues (clothing not sufficiently soiled to be realistic, non-period word use, etc), I found these elements to be superficial in nature. Movies are forever offering "sanitized" views (i.e., actors hair is never mussed, facial bruising from fights is gone the next day--or never appears at all!), etc. I would hate to see people miss out on a thoroughly enjoyable movie for such extraneous concerns. I very much recommend this film for viewers of all ages.
