September 15, 2008Sort of hard to watch, but good. The boys were excellent and really got into the roles, which makes a difference.

August 4, 2007One of those movies that you love when you're a kid, but when you watch it again when you're older, it doesn't have the same effect.

November 22, 2009A powerful story about brothers. It has great performances from Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazzello. It is a very brave film and doesn't shy away from risque topics. In fact, the subject matter is quite mature and unlike the majority of kids movies.
