A poorly done remake, 17 January 2003
Author: d-l-tutor (d-l-tutor@msn.com) from Detroit, MI

I hate it when people say the older movies were better but in this case it's true. This is a remake of the 1944 "Home in Indiana" starring Walter Brennan, Lon McAllister and Jean Crain. Even though the movie pretty much follows the same story line in an updated setting, the characters aren't developed as much, the story doesn't flow as well and Pat Boone as a "bad boy" is pretty much of a stretch, even 45 years later. If you have the chance, see the original. Even in black and white it is a better movie.
