I gave this film a good 20 minutes and just could not sit through any more of it! I'm not sure if its purpose is to make a joke out of enlightenment or if the actors and the script was just that bad. I don't understand how anyone has been able to continue watching the entire length of it. It was painful to watch even 20 minutes!

To be fair I only watched the first half hour, since by then I was convinced I was watching something awful. Some of the "supporting" characters are caricatures, whose performances would be more suited if played opposed Tinky Winky and Laa-Laa. If it's meant to be a comedy...well, I didn't laugh the whole first half hour...

You don't have to be a great salesman or a nominated movie star to be happy. But... you don't have to lose yourself in the illusion of happiness either. Always try to understand your situation, what's real and what's an illusion. Enjoy the illusion, but have both feet on the ground. This movie tries to depict this idea in a beautiful, well directed and well played comedy.So, why give this a 9 and not 10? Well... First of all, the idea is literally explained and the viewer doesn't have to think so hard to understand it. Second, some action is missing... this is the 21s't century... Anyway - It is a great movie.

We just went to the premiere of this movie in Helmond: the Netherlands. The story about Alice and other people in this movie is so familiar that you related very easily to the characters. Every day situations are shown in humorous and unsuspected ways: like in comedy theatre. There is not much more to say - because of the potential spoiler - but there is a wonderful life message in the movie and surprising plot(s). Must see!
