what a special film

We live in eastern NC and saw this movie at the theater. What a special film! I heard the director say that this was his first film but it sure did not seem like that. He pulled a great performance out of the child actors and you could tell that Will Patton (one of our favorites) really brought his 'A' game. This movie is a really special coming of age film that really had us thinking.

A great message... and interesting story...

It kind of reminded us of Ray Bradbury story... almost like Dandelion Wine...

More than anything, it captured the laid back pace of a small southern town. This is a great 1st film.
