An imaginative children's film about a young Australian boy's passion for flight and his challenge to compete in the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan.
Predictable but touching.
This slightly pious movie about winning a paper plane-folding championship is ultimately a relaxed, happy family affair.
In its tougher, more realistic moments, the film rekindles memories of Ken Loach's Kes. Generally, though, it opts for gentle whimsy.
There is nothing surprising in this film but it is a sunny, sentimental little heart-warmer.
the melodrama is hokey, the family details bogus...and the competition element as predictable as you'd expect.
A big-hearted story about a boy aiming for a place in the Tokyo paper-plane finals.
