Review: Trevor Howard gives what is possibly his finest screen performance (Time Out, 19/09/2006)
Advantages: Great story and acting. Disadvantages: none
...Although I knew there was a twist to the film, I didn't guess it and found the whole film thoroughly enjoyable with an amazing end. Watching it a second time was just as enjoyable even though I knew the end. It was a matter of knowing the twist, explained certain things that happened. Haley Joel Osment was excellent as the haunted little boy who captured my heart. The overall acting was good and the plot riviting and exciting - if not a bit shocking in places, but not horrific. A DVD that is a must to see, whether you know the ending or not!...

Advantages: Teaches children caring and sharing Disadvantages: Can't think of any
...This is a wonderful DVD for children of all ages, it teaches them the joys of sharing and caring about other people. Piglet who is very small, shows that size doesn't matter when it comes to sharing and proves that he has a big heart. I loved this DVD and would watch it again and again. The DVD is broken up into short stories, so that it keeps little childrens attention which is definately an advantage, small children easily get bored if sitting for a long time. With this it can be stopped after a short story and carried on again later. I think this DVD is excellent and teaches children the joys of friendship along with many other lessons that children don't seem to have too much of today....

Advantages: A real feel good factor Disadvantages: You might imagine that life can be so simple
...The actors portray a spiritually magical aspect of life that we all hope exists. We are told that there is no such thing as coincidence. This film sets out to demonstrate that our destiny is a blueprint assigned to us from birth. If this was the case then no matter what we do, the path that we walk will inevitably reach the same destination. Two people meet up and have a feeling that they might be soul mates. As a test against rationality and logic a challenge to destiny is set. The film weaves and swerves its way around the wonderful world of synchronicity. It’s more of a ‘girly’ film in truth, but leaves a warm glow in the heart....
