    A happy film for adults, who forget their time as children

    In this film Jody Foster is a typical tome-boy, who acted more than a boy than a girl. She is more adult than the adults and in her point of view you must shoot first or you would be shouted. Her life is a great fight and she have no time to coming nearer with people. Thats her problem to - this fight distance - she never can give it up - and the grandmother - who talked to her see this problem clear. The other girl in this film - do what girls do - but Foster never do this. There is a strange fight between them before they like each other.

    This is an adventure Disney-Film for children but adults can learn a lot of it. I think it's more seriously than "Pippi Langstrumpf" or something like this. The film played most of time in England and you can feel this. So it's the story of an American girl in England too.
