This film, already on TV here in the U.K., examines the old chestnut of
being careful what you wish for - you might just get it
!
Blake Foster plays the lead, as a pre-teen suffering at the hands of all
those who are older and bossier than him. If only they could leave him
alone...
The film leans a strong performance from Foster, who clearly has the
skills
to handle a leading role, and an excellent performance by Christopher
Lloyd
who has the difficult task of playing the only adult to feature. The
blend
of youth and experience works well and the interaction between all the
lead
players, including several movie debutants, is credible and
absorbing.
The film avoids the sanitized sentimentality of so many big studio
productions and brings a touch of reality to the film which allows the
willing suspension of disbelief to work that bit more effectively. The
bully is really cruel in this film - and kids ARE cruel
!
Kids will enjoy this movie and adults hopefully will see that enjoyable
children's entertainment does not have to equate to Hollywood
vacuity.

A truly fun and entertaining movie for the whole family. Christopher Lloyd
(Leo) is at his best and Blake Foster (Ryan Mitchell) is adorable. A must
see for anyone who wished their parents would disappear for just a little
while so you could do whatever you wanted. Kudos for a great
film!
