I finished watching this cute little title not 10 minutes ago, and I jumped on here to read what others had to say about it. Yeah it was formulaic, yeah you could see the ending coming miles away like every other happy-ending movie out there, but a few things I read struck me as odd. And yes, Feuer und Flamme (Devon and Cornwall in English) were great as an Abbott and Costello-type team. But that's what you get when cousins marry, they said. I was about to laugh my arse off...
Now back to earlier posts. Take the voices, for example. Someone posted that the voices didn't quite match in speaking/singing roles. In the version I saw, it would greatly depend on the language you're viewing it in. The German version had almost identical voices for Kayley speaking (Nana Spier) and singing (Nena). I had to listen twice to see if it actually WAS Nena, because I know her voice the instant I hear it. Sure enough, it was. Garrett's voices weren't too far off the mark either, with Hartmut Engler singing.
what was weird was reading the English script as subtitles while listening in German. I'll try the other way round tomorrow or just stick with straight English for the next viewing. Perhaps then I could judge better the said inaccuracy of the voice match-ups. I still don't think Andrea Corr could do the song justice. Nena sounds so much better.
