Review: The language of Jean-Pierre Jeunet did not change since Amélie. The light SFX are at the right place and just to enhance the story. The story is good for kids as it motivates to be proud of being good at school, what is usually difficult today. On this road movie, Catlett meets several mentors helping him for each step. The casting of the whole family is very good. They all have the expression of their role.  For me the directing gives a touch like the traditional tales and for this it is a pleasant movie.
Rating: 4 /10
