Audience Member it is a good movie and novel Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member good standard hollywood run of the mill kid's pic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was pretty decent and I can't believe how grown up Jonathan Lipnicki is because last movie I saw him in was Jerry Maguire. But the movie kept me interested until the ending. The ending was almost great untill the last 20 seconds of pure stupid CG cheesiness. But the rest of the film was nice to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting family film, the cast does very well. It does a fine job depicting small time life. It held my interest and doesn't outstay it's welcome. Made in 2003. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I hated this film, the back of the DVD stated that is was "a coming of age story in the spirit of Stand By Me" which as it turned out is absolute bullshit. Instead we are subjected to a boring, depressing pile of thinly veiled religious crap. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not a movie!!! It's a load of garbage! I read the whole book and they don't look for the guy, the guy comes back. They only had two or three correct events in the movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
