This is a very negative and childish movie. Not only is the script bad, it's clearly not a movie for adults. It's not even a family movie, in my opinion, but only for young children. I might see children 10 years of age or younger watching it. But it's so negative, I wouldn't want my child to see it. They would see the aunt as mean, and the movie tells young children that Santa isn't real, which many parents may be very adverse to. It's probably the worst movie I've seen in years. I got through 20 minutes of it. I really couldn't recommend it to adults or children. I found it that distasteful.
I purchased this wanting to enjoy à movie with my twin on our bday. I think she enjoyed it ok. I bought it because a review said to get it right now. I thot some of the acting early on was over done. I also thot some of the movie was unrealistic. Additionally, I felt the female lead's English wasn't convincing. Early on she indicated she couldn't speak English. Later she was using words together than weren't reasonable for someone not knowing English. The movie did grab your attention, but overall, I didn't enjoy it. I felt was too similar to other movies of people stranded in isolated locales.

The young woman who was reviewing apartments communicated that she was very opinionated. That is also true of many Americans. We can be far more vocal than other countries. While it may not have sounded positive that she didn't like the unfinished building that would be a view, I understood her expressing her dislike of it. After all, it's going to be where she lives and they are paying a pretty hefty price in Ghana for the place. If she doesn't like something as she's viewing a potential place, it is her right to say so without having to feel she has to prevent someone being offended. Her desires as as important as another person's feelings. This is about her move, not what Ghanians think about it. And she isn't a guest in Ghana. She was a potential resident, who gave up her life in American to try to mesh in another country. I guarantee that anyone moving from any African country to American is going to experience culture shock. Let this woman do the same. The American culture and Ghanian culture is very different. It's ok to express oneself in a different way. That shouldn't offend others. It's who people are and how the function. Should everyone that moves to another country feel forced to relate the same way the natives do? I don't think so. We bring who we are. I doubt this young woman would criticize everything in Ghana. But she is opinionated and that is her right. But she may learn to temper her words since most Ghanians aren't going to relate in her way. It's all about learning who each other are and respecting the differences.
