Trivia:

Director David Munro had limited rehearsal time with his lead actors so instead of script readings he sent them on a day-long adventure to local amusement parks. Both actors reported it was the best preparation they ever had for a film role.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: As Alby walks away from his house with the suitcase, some of the shots are flipped. A boy can be seen wearing a sports jersey with the number "32" reversed.

An amazing film, by an amazing team..

I have seen this film throughout its many stages, and it has warmed my heart, and made me laugh each and every time...from its first screening to its World Premiere at Tribeca. With so many exceptional characters you are sure to find one who will wisk you away, back in time, to the land of play-grounds and double dog dares. The juxtaposition of two reunited friends lays a perfect path to examine the child inside and whether or not it can play nicely with your adult self. Whether you long for a second chance at being a kid, or thank God that you never have to go back...this is the film for you! A heartfelt story with beautiful cinematography, something for all.

I can't wait to see it in a theater near me! =) X,D, & B You Rock!!
