At the core of the movie is a beautiful portrayal of a man that finds the courage to step out of his comfort zone. Of course, the movie is so much more than that.

I wouldn't consider it a classic, but I don't think that it is too far off. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

He should have won an Oscar for this. Also I suppose Richard Attenborough liked the kid on Jurassic Park and cast him. He is good too.
