I had seen the series on Netflix and enjoyed it enough to check out this movie, but...
I was NOT expecting to like this movie so much!!
I can definitely see how this movie spawned so many follow-up movies and a popular series.
It is fun, relatable, sweet. a definitely family film, but in the good kind of way where everybody in the family can enjoy the film, not just where it's safe for everybody in the family.
I admit that it is totally up my alley- with a mysterious woman who you can't quite figure out whether she's magical or incredibly, impossibly intuitive happily and unselfishly going around changing people's lives for the better. And I like how upbeat she is even when karma doesn't quite seem to be taking care of her the way I think it should be. And of course, the way the good people around her rally for her when she needs them is heartwarming.
Definitely making it into my library and going to become 1 of my more worn out DVDs pretty quickly.
And now, I'm off in search of the rest of the movies :)
score 10/10
