I used to love this movie for no apparent reason at all. Watching the end credits made me love those songs played in the background. However, as time goes by, I have started to lower the score from an 8 to a 4 without any interruptions andI used to love this movie for no apparent reason at all.

However, as time goes by, I have started to lower the score from an 8 to a 4 without any interruptions and finding its common flaws was easy enough to figure out why I lowered the score.… Expand

I really liked this movie, and it would have been great, but I honestly don't think the director worked hard enough. I loved the actors, and this really had potential, which is the main reason why I'm not giving this movie a bad score, and II really liked this movie, and it would have been great, but I honestly don't think the director worked hard enough. I loved the actors, and this really had potential, which is the main reason why I'm not giving this movie a bad score, and I just feel that this movie is just a disappointment.

I understand that this movie can connect to many people out there, but that doesn't mean that it is an excellent movie.

There are a lot better movies out there for everyone to watch, and I mean in all genres.… Expand

This is a perfect blend of humor and a touching story that illustrates that every person has a unique purpose regardless of their physical attributes.

I absolutely loved the movie, I watched it, next day showed it to my sister and mother, watched it with them, then a few days later, I watched it with my husband, and I will probably watch it again, I recorded it so that I can watch while I absolutely loved the movie, I watched it, next day showed it to my sister and mother, watched it with them, then a few days later, I watched it with my husband, and I will probably watch it again, I recorded it so that I can watch while everyone is at work and school. This is the only movie that I have ever been able to watch over two times without getting bored with it. If 20 had been the very best score, I would have chosen it. Simon did an absolutely superb job or Ian Michael I should say, on his part. Nancy Barnes… Expand

This is very much a family film, one with a fair dosage of sentimentality, cheese and cliche. This isn't always a bad thing and there is something somehow comforting about it, even though you can guess most of what happens. Its an easy, lightThis is very much a family film, one with a fair dosage of sentimentality, cheese and cliche. This isn't always a bad thing and there is something somehow comforting about it, even though you can guess most of what happens. Its an easy, light watch and it won't likely offend or upset people, which is a good thing I guess. It's not exactly memorable or particularly good but its a fairly decent watch - I wouldn't outright recommend it as such but there are certainly worse films out there, so, I'll leave it up to you whether you should bother to see it or not.… Expand

If you like tear jerkers, then this will make you ball your eyes out. Young kids who are best friends. One of them is disabled, but has more heart and courage then any one.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just an utterly trash film. My parent made me watch this as a kid and it always bothered me that the mom died for such a stupid reason. Everything about it is crass, manipulative, and dishonest… Expand
