Not something you haven't seen before. Actually, the story was just so so, and the whole hair thing was odd. Okay, the her talent with grooming one's hair was only used at the beginning and then towards the end as well. But, the description makes it sound like it would take upon the whole movie and it will be the base of everything. However, that wasn't the case. Unfortunately, that also meant that the whole upbeat, silly cute vibe that one would expect, was gone. Actually, the story is kind of a heavy love story, that wants to present the characters as complicated but never managing to present them in depth. In addition to that, the cartoon bears that appear out of nowhere really didn't agree with the whole atmosphere of the movie. In the end, this movie left confused on what was the concept it wanted to take on, so 2 out of 10.
