This movie was really cute and unexpected to me. The death of Grandpa made me shock. In the end, Olive didn’t win the competition but she wasn’t a loser; As her Grandfather said: The real loser is the one who is so afraid of not winning that they don’t even try.
I really enjoyed this movie and it help me to cheer up a bit. The main message was that there is no loser or winner, you just have to don’t give up and try. I loved the characters as well, every single one of them were unique, specially Olive, which was the sunshine of the family. And the thing that got my attention the most was the support of that family for Olive, the father, the brother, the uncle, the mother and the grandpa, all of them were such a good supporters. which I admired a lot.
Thanks a lot for your thorough comment.
