Good, touching, excellent film, 4 March 2002
Author: Steff (stephanotis323@aol.com) from California

I saw this movie on video, liked it, but then forgot about it. I saw it on IMDB, when I looked it up today, and it looks like not alot of people saw it. I loved it, it is a little sad, but I loved it. It is about a basketball player and his brother, and when the brother dies, he haunts his brother. Sad ending.
