I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, 6 November 2003
8/10
Author: ShazInCA from California

and not just for the joy of seeing the retired ship "Rotterdam" playing herself, as I once sailed on it, too, but also for the enjoyment of a good story well told.

I did find myself wondering throughout this movie how it is viewed by the people who want to tell children only non-scary fairy tales and such. This is a real grabber of a story of a boy facing scary situations and sadness, things that some people don't seem to want to have children face these days, even in books and movies.

Anyway, great story, great movie, and very enjoyable way to spend 2 hours.
