A great feel good-box of tissues- movie!, 19 February 2005
10/10
Author: narratus from toolman

The wonderful thing about this movie is that the feel of the 1950's cookie cutter lifestyle is iconic and authentic without all of the gritty realism. For a fantasy, it's fantastic in scope, well written, and well acted. The perfect movie for a box of tissues and an evening with your daughter or your girlfriends. It's a good kid-family movie as well. It immediately requires you suspend your jaded new-millennium lifestyles and your disbelief in all things magic. I caught this on tbs today and loved it. I think it's the only other movie with the boy from the Jurrassic Park franchise I've ever seen.

My favorite portion was how the younger boy gets to enjoy *his* wish.
