Positive things

The funniest part of the film is when Russell comes to ruin the party.

The draws are good and the story is very beautiful.

The most emotional part of the

film is at the beginning when they told us the

story of Carl and Ellie.

Shows you the value of friendship and happiness.

It’s a film made with the heart, it makes you cry at the beginning something that only a few films can do.

A film that can make us cry and laugh, a complete film, a fantastic

work.

Negative things

A bit childish We know the end of the film before it finishes, but we liked it Gives a childish image that ignores the real story

Curiosities:

Russell’s “assisting the elderly" badge

One example of a real Russell is this Chinese boy.
