Goofs

Eva presumably lives in the Warwick building in Los Angeles as the name Warwick is showing above the entrance to the building when she saying goodbye to her mom before going to her dad's house. When Katie's mom gets onto the 405 freeway, she gets on from Sunset Boulevard. The Warwick is on Sycamore Avenue which would be closer to Wilshire Boulevard, so it doesn't quite make sense for her to go all the way to Sunset Blvd, which is a longer route when she could've just got onto the 405 from Wilshire Blvd or Santa Monica Boulevard.

Uplifting, endearing, feel good family movie!
6 June 2019 | by UniqueParticleSee all my reviews

Thora Birch made this such a wonderful movie to watch and Harvey Keitel added great substance as the villain. One of the best family friendly adventures of the 90's! Lovely morals in it too - it teaches you right from wrong in the sweetest way possible.
