My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 8 / 10 Way too sappy. And sap isn't bad every now and then.
My Movie Rating: 4 / 10 Lovely performance by Rodrigo Noya but the script is too wordy which mars the enjoyment of the film particularly for those watching subtitled versions.

Great performances and strong script with a few funny moments. The poster and tagline give the impression this is a sort of romantic comedy with Valentin acting as "Cupid," but that's not really the case until the very end. The film is more about a child recognizing and eventually accepting the imperfections of the adults in his life. Disagree with the subtitle comments, I didn't have any issue following along.
