Sad, by Andy

March 2, 2007

This film was supposed to be a family film. The ending is one of the saddest and worst from Disney since Old Yeller. I wish that I had been warned of the impending doom. It was hard to explain the situation to my daughter, who had really identified with the main character.

As a way of making it up to her and myself, we went to see Astronaut Farmer the next day. This is a wonderful family film and I had no worries about not having a happy ending.
