DIE HEINZELS - RUCKKEHR DER HEINZELMANN (THE ELFKINS - BAKING A DIFFERENCE)

Watchable. The tale is engaging, characters distinct and the action is saving a confectionery so all sorts of pastries make the film sweet and yummy. It's all endearing but the storyline - about a vicious developer - is pretty standard. In Poland, it's all dubbed in Polish, unfortunately including songs. Only "Helping Hand" - the final song accompanying the end credits - is in English. To me, the tale was lovely but derivative. But children in the audience loved it.

LUCA 3D

Walked out. The 3D doesn't make much difference. I'm not sure if it's 3D or merely the second viewing that let me see more details, especially of dishes, e.g. basil on pasta. Also, I noticed that Bruno in the picture the boy shows to his companion resembled Gomez Addams from "The Addams Family". The reheated serving doesn't engage that much, though the Italian songs are catchy and blissfully in the original language.
