#POSITIVES.

1. Emma Watson steal the show with her brilliant performance as Sam.Her magical transformation into a teen girl is really fantastic.She won People's choice award for her skills.

3. Excellent performances from all the other casts.No over-acting no gimmicks.
4. Well-crafted with no cliches.
