After watching this movie, I asked myself why I had enjoyed it, in spite of its cheesiness, in-your-face feel-good-ness and insouciance about detail. Then the penny dropped: it had a straight, comprehensible, linear story line, there were no puzzling flashbacks, the characters were clearly delineated...and, what's more, no foul language, no nudity, no drug-taking, none of the trendy, often forced ingredients of contemporary cinema!
This movie is far from perfect, but it is a breath of fresh air, even if the attempted canonization of Kelly doesn't quite come off as intended by its creators. And, mercifully, it's less than two hours long!
