Clean, old fashioned family movie with good moral.

OK, somewhat cheesy in spots and while not an edge of your seat, thrill a minute, definitely a good family movie. The bully and braggart gets his comeuppance in a comical if predictable manner. The adult actors seemed somewhat stilted but the youngsters did an excellent job. It will be interesting to see where their careers go from here. I went to see this movie in order to support a local Arizona writer/actor. As a native of Prescott, Arizona, it was great to see my hometown featured. Great scenic shots. Take your kids to see it. You could do much worse. It's not bad for an independent making his first film. I hope to see more locals get a chance.
