  ★ 7/10

  Pretty much the same formula as the others and some may find it a bit too repetitive, however I find this "franchise" to be akin to comfort food, enjoying these characters and their friendship. The scenery like the previous films is beautiful. 3.5/5 Apparently these are comprised of scenes from a television series, really wish those would get a DVD release here in the States, wouldn't mind checking them out.
