      Janet Maslin New York Times On the Right Track' is a vehicle for Mr. Coleman that depends entirely on the premise that he is lovable. Only his most ardent television fans are likely to accept this. Apr 8, 2015 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times What could have been a bright little comedy is so jampacked with supporting players, subplots, and distractions that it seems much longer than it is, and even Coleman's fortitude doesn't get us through. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 8, 2015 Full Review TV Guide Other than a few cute lines and situations, there's little else of value in this absurd and extremely naive picture. Rated: 1/4 Apr 8, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Beloved 10 year old enterprising shoeshine orphan with a knack of picking the ponies finds his forever home with the aid of a union between an aspiring singer and his juvenile services officer. Coleman's first feature film, made through his production company. For those who enjoy his Diff'rent Strokes material.
