Not For Kids
PostedOctober 29, 2009

I enjoyed this movie, and I would recommend it, but not to those bringing their children.
Despite the PG rating, and despite this not being a 'dark' movie, we would do well to let the little ones skip a film containing a 'D' word, an 'H' word, and a character's limb being severed gratuitously.
The conclusion is unclear---to adults and to kids alike---as to a moral to the story or even a reason why the ending provided was supposed to be a particularly positive one. One would expect a film made from a kid's book would be better suited for kids' consumption.
Flaws aside, this is a wonderful film for adults to savor the fresh fun, creativity, dialogue, and cinematography which keeps viewers enthralled through it all.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Box Office's Best Kept Secret
PostedOctober 28, 2009

I took a chance on this film which I had not previously heard of. By the time it was over, I felt the best I have felt in a long, long time.
Solid performances before & behind the camera deliver this story in vivid color. The words and actions of Mr. Sperry (Gavin MacLeod) drive the meaning of the film home, though this is most prominently shown in the people whose lives he had impacted.
For a film claiming to be fiction, it somehow greatly resembles the true stories of the extraordinary people we have encountered in real life.
The secrets shared by Jonathan Sperry are some of the most important things we can learn in the here & now.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
