Over the past year, sports headlines have focused as much on inspirational championship glories as shameful transgressions on and off the field of play.

Since this comes from the Disney Studio think 'Fantasia' (1940), the animated classic in which a hapless Mickey Mouse, the-then Sorcerer’s Apprentice, got into a watery mess with buckets of water and dancing mops … there’s a repeat sequence in this film.

While it offers nothing new, this sweet, romantic film still manages to please thanks to the central characters of Kirk (Baruchel) and Molly (Eve) and the age-old dilemma facing them.

DreamWorks continues to impress with this charmer and with the added bonus of 3-D it works to perfection, even allowing for some of the characters cast very much in the stereotype … but when did Vikings talk with strong Scots accents?
