Great Actors!, 26 March 1999
10/10
Author: Neil Grenning (grennina@plu.edu) from Washington

The storyline is real, the events everyone can probably relate to, and the acting was incredible! Seth Adkins is a trully talented moppet for his age! One can really feel the frustration of money and finantial discouragement between the parents. Many great moments, a must see!
