There's no camp, no allowance, no TV, no nothing. Now up to your room, right now this instant! I am furious!

    Not As Disapointing as it looks
    It might seem a dull movie, and well kind of is. Anna Chulumsky is great however in the movie as well as the two actors that play her brother. Its not in every Blockbuster in town, but if you get a chance to rent a movie, look for this one (just make sure youre doing something while watching it, it won't seem as boring.)
