I picked this movie from a bargain bin, which makes it that much more of a "find" for my family movie collection. I was not aware of this movie when it was released (I'm not sure how it was released -- theaters, TV, or direct to DVD), I guess some good stuff falls through the cracks! The acting is very good as is the plot -- the issues related to a difficult pregnancy may be a bit heavy for younger children, but they are portrayed in a very real and honest manner. The issue of ownership of dinosaur fossils portrayed in the movie is as relevant today as illustrated by the legal action surrounding the ownership of "Sue" -- the most complete T-Rex skeleton found to date that is now on display at the Field Museum in Chicago. The movie also hearkens back to the story of Mary Anning, who found the first complete Icthyosaur skeleton when she was a young girl living in Lyme Regis, England. I have an eight-year old aspiring paleontologist and a five-year old, and both loved the film. Great family viewing -- thanks for supporting it Scott!
