cute movie
Its a bit low budget of a movie, but the story was good. The trailer didnt show much. Most of the movie is on the road trip, it shows the bond of the two boys and how it grows. The movie makes you think about doing right by others and doing the right thing, and what the difference is. Here is a young man, not even 21, who wants to help a boy he just met. He knows no one else is taking the time to care about what happens to this boy, so he takes it into his own hands. Despite knowing the severe consiquences, he takes the chance to make someone elses life better. It makes him a hero and a criminal. Its a good movie, a pure drama, if your looking for excitement this isnt for you, but if you like a simple story that makes you look into life then rent it.
Ortiz is adorable in this, and the chemestry the actors have will make you smile. I would think they were real family.
Just Like the Son
Awesome story, worth watching.
I Know That Boy!
We are friends in school! But then he transfered, and the movie wasn't really interesting at all! IN fact, my class was forced to watch it!
