I think I liked it more than my 9 year-old son. Wasn't expecting to like it, but it had an oddly compelling narrative. Rawly stole the show: couldn't ask for a sweeter friend. The older brother also notable. Good pacing. Not sure what the journalist saw in the protagonist: he came off mainly as a jerk, barely redeemed in the end. Of all the films I have to go to with my kids, I would recommend this one to the parents as well.
