A fun escape movie, that allows you to dream about good winning out over bad. Story takes a lot of dramatic license however in that the townspeople and police in particular aren't realistic in their acceptance of the sudden and unexplained appearance of a young child in their midst.
The story's message is about the trials and tribulations of parenthood, the collision between dreams and reality.
So abandon all adherence to reality and sit back and enjoy a really sweet fantasy about real emotions.
