EXCELLENT TV MOVIE, FROM BACK IN THE 80's., 19 November 2002
10/10
Author: JACK (JABRONI76) from CHICAGO, IL, USA

This was an excellent TV Movie, I saw it when I was 10 or 11 years old, this movie made me cry. I hope I can obtain a copy of this great and wonderful movie someday. Craig T. Nelson is an excellent actor from his movie roles in the Poltergeist series to TV sitcoms. Two Thumbs Up for Craig.
