★★★ · typical besse material · Kieran Kenney · 2004-07-07
The usual shots of people going about their shopping and hamming it up for the camera. One scene made me nervous. When that barn was being lowered down the hill I kept expecting it to fall and crush the guy standing below. Great period fashions as well, and nice playground scenes as well.
