I first saw this when I was 11 and even though I am now 18, this has remained my favorite. Why? Well, even though it is an independent film I thought the plot line was good and the kids didn't act as badly as one would expect. There were moments, for sure, but overall the acting was good. If you thought about certain scenes too deeply the effect was ruined, but that goes for any movie. This is for ages 12 and up and although they repeated a certain word more than 20 times during the movie, it wasn't as cheesy as kid movies today are. The added bonus was that there were no "adolecent romances," which would have ruined the charm.
