If there was a single, solitary film that defined the word “charming,” this would be it. It takes everything that made the first film so great and enjoyable, and ups its game. While still unabashedly a kid’s film, its incredibly well written and tightly woven script, its sweet, but not glurgy tone, as well as a fantastic performance by Hugh Grant are just some of the things that make this so much better than almost any other kid’s film out there. There really is no other way to describe this film other than charming and sweet, and it makes it look so effortless. This is a delightful film that is almost guaranteed to brighten up your day.

Rating: 5/5
