Everardo O This movie hit a little close to home for me. Ending up in foster care was a constant fear for my siblings and me. Identified with the eldest brother throughout the movie. Completely understood his actions, feelings and point of view. It really grabbed at my heart strings. Wish they would make a big budget version to this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Audience Member I would be very curious to see what this movie was before Feature Films for Families awkwardly inserted the Christian-moral-compass grandmother character. It seems like a fun 80's romp with a heart, but Grandma just can't let those orphans get away with evading authorities and borrowing other peoples' cars without passing judgement on them. While decorating a cake with Precious Moments figurines. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps my nostalgia is clouding my judgment, but I still love this film from my childhood when I rewatched it recently. It's a compelling story about four siblings whose mother has just died and are about to be separated and put into foster homes, but decide to run away to Arizona to find Uncle Jack and perhaps their father, and in the process get in all sorts of trouble (Like stealing cars and gas) and meet new people on their journey. This is still a heartfelt film since the acting is great, even from the child actors, making this film feel convincing. It can be a bit corny at times, but it's still an immensely enjoyable family film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member OMG childhood favorite...... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I cherish many fond memories from numerous viewings of this nice little movie about a group of siblings trying to survive an oppressive, uncaring world.
