Title: A Colossal Disappointment
Product review: After 35 minutes, I told my wife that, except for the scenery and the music, this could be a Hollywood movie. It tries to evolve beyond that, and it's watchable enough, but it never reaches the ranks of being memorable, much less literature. Once it reaches the requisite length, it introduces a political event that I guess we can't call "deus ex machina" because it actually happened. But that's how they end the story and go home. But in the end, we've got crusty codger, cute kid, bonding, blah blah blah. I know the Czechs have better movies. Why aren't we seeing them? It's a sad day when any European nation neglects its rich cultural heritage to try copying the literary equivalent of Big Macs.
