    Beautiful, AMAZING, Thrilling Movie

    Blue Butterfly is the best movie i have seen in the last two years.

    It is funny, amazing, and beautiful. You would expect it to be a heartbreaking drama from the synopsis but it is NOT instead it is so much more.

    There are so many thrills in it and i strongly recommend it to anyone to try. If you don't want to see it for the acting, which is EXCELLENT then go see it for the beautiful scenes of the Costa Rican jungle.

    This movie is proof that Canadian movies are just as good if not better than some Hollywood movies.
