      Audience Member Marvelous and this Family/Drama film is worth checking out since this film has the touch of "Stand By Me" and "My Dog Skip"! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked it. Great story and good moral. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Frances H Nice enough story, but the whole thing just is somehow lacking and forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/08/14 Full Review Audience Member this movie has character. i love the detail, the actors personalities, & also I love that this story actually has a moral. it is extraordinarily original. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie.I liked when the children went looking for the con artists and the tied one of them on the back of a tow truck and the other was locked in the trunk of a car. Hilarious. Anyways that little girl was talent and a little too dramatic (lol) but played a wonderful role in the movie.:)Still don't have a clue why the movie is given that name. oh well...

      Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution The movie version is like a bedtime story -- pleasant but a little soporific. Rated: C Jan 23, 2003 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2005 Full Review Eric D. Snider EricDSnider.com A slice-of-life picture where the life is uneventful and the slice missed all the good chunks. Rated: C- Nov 2, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
