Great Movie

I absolutely loved that movie. I understand that it was a make of Oliver Twist (which I have never seen) Although when I watch movies I don't compare, why sit there and say it's nothing like Oliver Twist, It's not supposed to be. It's a different movie, well produced, and very moving. As soon as I turned on the movie I was hooked didn't get up once. I love the fact that they show people how it is for children, I mean that is real, Africa is no joke. Tons of Children either die by the age of five or are orphans by the age of 5. So sad but so true. Jarrid did a beautiful job and he is the cutest little boy ever! GOOD JOB EVERYONE THE MOVIE WAS A HIT
