“Two innocents beat out a really bad guy and six stooges to take home $2,000,000 and fall in love in the process. Sounds like something weu0026#39;ve seen 100 times, but this one has two really sweet kids that are a joy to watch. Setting this familiar plot in an unfamiliar setting helped, too. Humor ranges from more-or-less subtle to slapstick. As far as I could tell, we didnu0026#39;t miss much in the translation–except reading the F-word in the subtitles doesnu0026#39;t have the impact of hearing it in English.”
