2.5*/5.0*

A simple but sweet and genuine comedy. The setup is silly but amusing, the second half gets a bit too sentimental, but the film has its heart in the right place, so any doubty moments are easy to forgive. Not that I'll be remembering this one for long, it's a forgettable flick, but at least it was fun while it lasted.

The performances are okay, the runtime is fine, and there are some cute moments. A lot of the charm hinges on the premise though. Once that has worn off, it starts to show that Head in the Clouds doesn't have a lot extra to offer. Still, if you're looking for easy filler, you could do a lot worse.
