colin r @RT59339410 01/04/2025 Pleasant change from the violence, sex, serial killers and drugs in many movies. Quiant. See more 12/28/2018 It was so cute even though the acting wasn't brilliant and the story was a bit light & cheesy. See more 09/27/2018 Delightful tale of an old spirit in a young girl. Abby is led to a better life by a fairy light, and heals many broken people on her path. Great family movie; sure to become a classic. See more Read all reviews
