I rented this as a substitute for another family movie I wanted to see but it was out and I thought this might be a reasonable replacement. Five minutes into the movie and I knew that I was wrong. It starts out with a kid's parents just abandoning him without any intelligent explanation to either the child or us as the audience. My husband's reaction, "Great, a badly written storyline with even worse acting". And it only got stinkier, so to speak. The plot had as many holes as swiss cheese, was written poorly and though the main character was almost believable, he didn't quite come across as the lost soul that this movie obviously wants to make him. Not only was it poorly done movie but it was a trick, it's a preachy movie that made me roll my eyes. By the time I was done watching it, I had to call my husband to let him know that the movie only got worse. I had to call him because after twenty minutes or so, we were all bored and quit watching it the first time. I can't stand not watching a movie all the way through so I wasted more time and rewashed the film. If you're looking for a cheesy religious movie that comes across as being on the level of the old renditions of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and is meant to bedazzle you with scenery and nothing else, this is it. Enjoy. Personally, when I want to get my religious kicks, I'll watch something with a little or perhaps just any substance and watch anything else. No one in my family, not even my children, enjoyed this movie but I guess that's the way some "moving" movies are.
