Maybe God has a different plan, says the mysterious narrator at the start of this story.  As the story progresses I think you might guess where this story is going.  It's predictable and unpredictable at the same time.  You would guess this would happen,  then you would wish you are right.  It's that kind of a movie.  It is not a Perry Mason whodunnit classic and it is also not something Miss Marples would want to tackle.  Ergo, it is not really a thinkers movie.

It's a feel good movie and it surely did its job.

There's one thing that this movie made me do.  It made me look for additional(because I have Italian cookbooks at home) Tiramisu recipes and here are some of them that I found on the Worldwide Web:

• EASY, GLUTEN-FREE TIRAMISU TRIFLE
• EASY TIRAMISU TRIFLE
• Classic Tiramisu
• pretty.simple.sweet.'s tiramisu
• easy baileys tiramisu trifle cups (without egg)
