Movie Haiku:Dumb Jan thought she was watching a moving--albeit too tidy--feature about a Romanian family, but it turns out WFA is a doc! Now all her original objections are amplified: 7 kids stuck in a small apartment with no parents? Suffers from Hawthorne Effect with heavily edited "heart-warming" footage. Good intentions are not enough!!! NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
