CGiii Comment
It is a cute kids movie about bullying.
A subject usually entrenched with subtext - however, it's the campy new boyfriend that catches the eye...judge for yourself.
It's for kids - don't expect too much and if you are bored on a rainy Sunday afternoon - it's worth a watch.
It will make you smile.
