I was pleasantly surprised by this wonderful gem of a film. Every person brings to his or her life a unique perspective and personality. Every situation is faced differently- sometimes openly and with optimisim, sometimes with bitterness and intolerance. Maggie Smith, as per usual, shines in the background of this colorful, humorous, and subtley inspiring film. Definitely worth watching if you ever plan to be old and grey. I hope you do...
