It was excellent fun, and touching in places. The New Zealand scenery was breathtaking. Always good to see a grumpy old guy, warm up to a precocious but lovable kid. It was heartwarming .

I just watched this again. It came out on Hulu. I think it was even better the second time around as I was listening closer to the dialogue. This movie is so funny. 🤣

What a great adventure comedy! I loved it!

Great to see the love for this Kiwi film

It kept me amused throughout and was way ahead of Waititi's film Boy in my book (the only other of his films I'd seen). I've not watched a Marvel film in years but I love that the director will be squeezing millions out of the Marvel films as an actor and director. He deserves a all the money he can rake in from Thor having made this wee gem.

Sam Neill was the best pervert since Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman and I loved the soundtrack and scenery. Not a complete classic but it's rare for a film to elicit a titter from me these days and I preferred it to quite a lot of Wes Anderson's output (which is probably the nearest comparison).

7/10

This was a beautiful, touching film full of sweetness and some sadness. It was recommended to me by some friends- who said it was the best film ever. I have to agree with them. The struggles of this rejected child and gruff widower are a delight- and will soothe your heart if you’re hurting.

I also loved this film, especially Ricky! I gave it an 8/10.
