Sure this movie is on the smaltzy side sometimes- but it's Great!! It sticks to it's own story-line and captures boy-hood fantasy, playfulness and anguish. Wonderful ending!!
Bill Milner (Will Proudfoot) and Will Poulter (Lee Carter) are just great in this movie; it is touching, funny and at times sad; a good family movie, and in my opinion, it's better than Narnia. Artistically-originality, it scores high! It's not a wide release (too bad) more than likely because it's foreign (France/UK/Germany) but it is in English! Entertaining!
