This is a very gentle movie that, while being quite relaxing offers little real dramatic content.
The characters are endearing enough and there are some nice comedic touches. Cinematography is reasonable, although one feels at the end of the movie that not quite enough was made of the wonderful location. Most of the movie seems to take place in mid-shot, making it seem a little soap-opera for my tastes.
There is one too many sub-plot in the movie, and along with some confusing chronological chopping up of the narrative, this spoils an otherwise decent film.
By all means go and see it, or rent it - it's enjoyable enough.
Just don't expect anything terribly stimulating.
