    Best Made-For-TV Film Ever Made
    Fred Savage puts across a brilliant performance in the heart-warming film, showing that there is more to him than 'The Wonder Years'. I was surprised that this film was only made TV because it is a lot better than a lot of the things that get released at the cinema. I suggest you look out for it in the future on Channel 4 or Film Four in the U.K. because it is definitely worth watching.
