This is a very underrated film, there is very few people out there that havent seen this film. It stars Fred Savage, Christan Slater, Luke Edwards Jenny Lewis and Beau Bridges it is a remarkable story of courage and strength in a young person, we all remember watching this movie. It is fun and entertaining aswell and i think that Fred Savage does a fantastic job. If you have not seen this movie i would suggest that u do it wilol be well worth it
