August 6, 2007This was a good happy movie, a little silly , Billy Bob always comes through in his movies. A bit of an unbelievable story. Slow moving. A feel good flick.

March 2, 2007This is one great family movie. With so much death and destruction on the screen these days I was really glad for this movie. It shows that pursing your dreams can come true. This is one of those feel-good films and it really does do that for you.
