Critics' reviews

"A sweet little parable that involves a man and a boy who help each other become a better boy, and a better man (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"So rich in processed sugar, canned sentiment and schmaltz, I thought I was going to throw up"

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
"This slight, predictable comedy has appealing moments"

Peter Stack: SFgate
"It's a modest little fantasy. But it's also well made, unpretentious and refreshing."

Richard Schickel: Time
"For all the originality and charm it displays in the first hour, this is ultimately formula fare (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
