User Reviews

A boy moves from his home in India back to Canada

This isnt necessarily so Canadian that someone from the United States couldnt get it. I saw this movie a few years ago, and have always remembered the face of young Ryan Reynolds, who I recognized recently on "Two Guys, A Girl and Pizza Place". His ability to be a boy WITH such abilities who must be so different from him in real life (the boy knew intense yoga and meditation) was quite the feat and young Reynolds handles it quite well. Although the plot may seem a bit hokey, strong performances of Glenne Headly and Reynolds carries it off well.
