CGiii Comment

It's safe, sappy and sweet.

Not groundbreaking in the least...but, it is an ethereal, watchable film that will not leave you thinking...

And, it is a vast improvement on Lemhagen's last effort.

Goran and Sven have been cleared for adoption and are given the option to adopt Swedish orphan "Patrik 1,5," but when Patrik arrives, he turns out not to be the little boy they were expecting. A comma was misplaced, and the boy they receive is a 15-year-old homophobe with a criminal past.
