tony h @RT87589402 09/11/2021 It could possibly have been a pretty good film, but as it is, it's barely watchable, as it's far too cheesy and childish. Maybe it was meant to be a kiddies' film after all? See more 04/04/2019 What a lovely tender and warm movie. Great for the family See more 06/05/2014 This was an excellent film! Great child actors, beautiful story, and well written. Not the ending I expected. See more 02/24/2014 Very touching movie. Inspirational story. See more 09/06/2013 Bad acting and bad scripting make this earnest attempt at a wholesome depiction of late childhood unintentionally laughable on multiple occasions. See more Read all reviews
