A really wonderful film, 6 April 2007
Author: lampton-1 from France

Gosh, we must have been watching a different movie.

My family and I absolutely love this story. A nudge to an earlier poster - the plot seemed perfectly clear to me, the baby was on the shore because his brother, who was supposed to be baby-sitting him at home, took him there. Then when the child thought something awful must have happened to the baby, he didn't dare tell his mum and dad. It wasn't until the searchers had looked everywhere that he finally confessed he'd taken the baby to the seashore.

We really liked the performances, especially the kids and Bruce Greenwood. Incredibly charming and completely believable, I thought.

The Canadian setting was very beautiful, too.

It's a Disney movie, I thought, although IMDb says some other company made it.
