This is the kind of movie I love to wrap my arms around and draw close to me...endearing, funny, serious, sad, but most of all, wonderful! I'm not sure what I loved the most, the music, the characters, the story, or the darling girl who played Ms. Dench's granddaughter...naw, I loved all of it...

I just started this book. I like to read every evening, just after I go to bed in order to help myself fall asleep. This book is my "anti-routine." It makes me laugh so hard, I can scarcely finish a paragraph. Tears are running down my cheeks, the bed is shaking for all its worth, and going to sleep is the last thing I can do. Patrick F. McManus has a masterpiece with these oh-so-funny accounts of his outdoor experiences. Read it yourself, and weep!
