You shall never give up!

It's a touchable film. Most of all I think this movie has a clear message, that is transmitted to the viewer in a growing way…First, it just seems to be a slogan, one of the "nine steps" to win, but then we start realizing that it's really a strong message, the main idea of the film: be yourself, do what you want to do and don't care about what other people will think, never quite, never give up, even if you are afraid to lose, and you will be a winner… because "losers are people who are so afraid of not winning, they don't even try" (it was said by "grandpa" in the movie)…And that's so true! Sometime we are so afraid of what can happen that we just give up and don't even try to do something that we would like, just because we are afraid of the consequences! I see myself here, and I think that's the point of the movie, make people think about themselves, and the others around them, especially the closer ones, family and friends…

I won't say it's a comedy, in my point of view it's far from that. I think it's a drama with a sarcastic humor. It had some comic moments, but I guess that many people will review themselves in those moments…

I really appreciated this film, it's not so hilarious as many people told (it's not the comedy of the year!), but it actually has a refreshing touch and made me think about some issues that I didn't expect to when I decided to see this movie.
