Plot: What happens when a widowed mother and her two sons invite an injured drifter into their home?

Jeanne Holman has lost her husband to the Korean War and is doing her best to support her family in a community that reveres conformity and frowns upon anyone who dares to be different. As Jeanne questions her chosen path, her oldest son Tom struggles to fit in with his peers and her youngest son, Gunny, who's frightened of virtually everything, is soon to be diagnosed with a serious illness. Enter a chance encounter with drifter Jack McCloud and his dog Betty Jane, and the pair temporarily move in with the Holman family. What essentially begins as one woman's act of guilt-induced charity evolves into a magical journey of personal growth for each family member. The end result is a wish come true for everyone involved. This film has widespread appeal: there's romance, magic, physical and spiritual journeys, self-revelation, and even a celebration of diversity and personal strength. The PG rating seems apt due to the film's intensity and one short almost nude scene. --Tami Horiuchi

    A very good movie...it tells you a life of a little boy that is asked by a stranger to make a wish, that his mother and little brother makes a wish and it comes true and he grows up wondering what he did to not get a wish and finds out that his wish was given to him by the stranger, that he would find happiness in anything that he wanted and he relizes that his greates gift was having a family..

    Wish 1 - MEM shortens her name
    Wish 2 - Swayze choses another career path
    Wish 3 - instead of making claptrap producers donate the money to the Miccarelli poverty relief fund

    Very boring - couldnt decide if it was a coming of age/romance/family drama/fantasy. Not fitting in to a certain genre is usually interesting, but it just made this a mish mash of a film.

    I saw this a long time ago. I remember it being pretty good. I think that I should watch it again. Why the hell am I rating all these movies when I should be studying for finals tomorrow?
