The film is a perfect mixture of a coming of age, road trip and family drama, but stays always light-hearted, touching and easy-to-watch. The 2h running time flew by so fast and I wished it would have never ended. The charming main actor was brilliant to watch, same with Helena Bonham Carter, who I was pleased to see in a role, in which she ha...
