Fandango synopsis:  When a Chinese orphan meets her longtime Australian sponsor while on a choir festival trip, she discovers that the life he'd portrayed in his postcards to her over the years is not as perfect as he'd indicated, leading the two on a shared search for belonging and acceptance.

My comments:  It was sweet...and different...and interesting.  It was totally unbelievable in places.  Australian accents and the Chinese language.  Breaking...smashing stereotypes.  Sticking closely to stereotypes.  Not knowing what to expect.  Knowing exactly what to expect.  Disjointed thoughts swirling, fluttering in my brain even a couple hours after seeing this movie.  Glad I saw it, despite its goodness and badness.  A perfect Friday-yay-it's-the-weekend kind of flick!  Good popcorn, too.
