Four of us went to see this charming film at the Palm Springs Film Festival. We loved it. Even more, the entire audience loved it -- some gave it a standing ovation, which is a rarity in movie theaters. Further still, it was awarded a Best of the Best award at the film festival The movie an absolutely enchanting, sweet-hearted, inspiring film. It's not Citizen Kane, but it stands at about the same height as Amelie and Princess Bride. Sure, some of it is predictable, but that didn't ruin our enjoyment at all. We love deep and thought provoking films, but after all of that "meat", it's great to have "dessert". And This Beautiful Fantastic is a kick-ass, yummy Baked Alaska, but with no calories.
