That was an excellent one.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
This is a typical coming-of-age movie; Nicely done however. Tom's travels to reach his father involve him in rather stereotypical adventures so you certainly can predict what's coming, but it's fun...and CLEAN, which is nice in this day and age.Acting for the most part is lukewarm, except for Nick Mancuso who plays his Mountie roll well. I'm surprised he did not get top billing. It moves pretty well though and will keep average kids interested.If you and your family like the boy, dog, growing up, frontier type of movie, you'll enjoy this one. It's well worth watching.This movie may be hard to find. I've never seen it on tape or DVD. My oldest kid taped it off TV when he was little.
