In Finnish with English subtitles. For 10-year-old Ricky, drumming is the most important thing in the world; for Aunt Serena, it's Lennart, the downstairs tenant. He makes her heart thump like a drum solo. But when she asks Ricky to deliver an anonymous love letter to Lennart, it accidentally reaches the hands of new 10-year-old neighbor, Nelly, instead, turning Ricky's life upside-down. Based on the popular Finnish children's books by Sinikka and Tiina Nopola (who also penned the screenplay), Ricky Rapper pulses with all the stumblings, misunderstandings, embarrassment and dramatic crushes of the best preteen romances. Shot through with crayon colors and cartoon-like scenarios in the spirit of the great children's films of the '50s and '60s, this family treat builds charmingly to a grand finale, as Ricky asserts his right to his own music in a dance-floor rap duel—in Finnish! Ages 6+. —John Morrison
