Storyline

Trudy 'Tru' Walker thought she had the worst life ever and having a father who was always working, a mother who never took her side, and a mentally challenged brother didn't help.

great movie that shows the tender love between brother and sister
26 December 2002 | by – See all my reviews

LaBeouf has gone dramatic! this movie is a change from his comedic role in the sitcom even stevens. i must give shia two thumbs up. he is a great actor. movies like this generally make me cry. i shed a little tear or two but not a lot. if you want some good drama and a good cry on the side, check this out. it'll teach you the importance of love and family. 8 stars out of 10. p.s. keep your tissues handy!
