Reel Talk:

This film marks the directorial debut for Russell Crowe and I must say that he did an excellent job. With a good story, good cast, good locations and some good directing, this movie has all the elements of a good movie. It is a touching, heart warming movie that will take you on a variations of emotions. Very good movie that is worth the price of admission.
