REVIEW
Having a parent requiring medical attention is a difficult situation to cope with. By not dwelling too much on that situation though the film becomes something else: the coming-of-age of a pre-adolescent. It’s a shame the writing is lacking because there are some really good performances here.
CLASSIFICATION
FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
• After a school yard fight Chris has a band-aid over his left eye. It moves around from one shot to the next.
• While talking with his boss John’s sunglasses are in his shirt pocket. They move about without being touched.
