I remember seeing this film when it first appeared on cable television back in the early 90's (release date was 1992). It featured a cast of actors that were unknown at that time, with the exception of Lorraine Bracco, who was to be making her break out jump from television. AND the narative talents of a "barely established" Tom Hanks. Included in the cast are child actors, Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) and Joseph Mazzello (Jurrasic Park). Also in the cast (though the camara works hard at keeping him facelessa) is the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, Adam Baldwin (Independence Day). This story delivers a very powerful message that deals with children as victims of child abuse in the 1960s. It's written beautifully by David M. Evans, as memories as seen through the eyes of a child, which includes fantastic dips into a young boy's imagination, while dealing with the harsh reality of an abusive alcoholic step father. This movie could be released today, and it's quality and craftmanship (Directed by Richard Donner) would not be out of place in our contemporary cinema. Except for the hairstyles, which sometimes glare of the 1990's trends. Buy this DVD, you won't regret it. Especially if you have young ones and want to spend the afternoon watching a great movie with a lovely discussion afterward about parent and child releationships.Read full review
This is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it so many times I've lost count and enjoy it every time I watch it. This movie is about two boys with an abusive, alcoholic step-father who escape from the reality of their sad situation by using their imagination to go to a better place. EVERY parent and child should watch this movie together, followed by a discussion about the lessons of triumph over tragedy. This movie also features several current stars who were unknowns at the time the movie was made. The first time I saw the movie I knew without any doubt that Elijah Woods was an actor we would see again; he had such talent for a young child. It's funny because whenever I tell people about this movie they usually aren't familiar with the name, then they watch it, love it, and wonder why they'd never hear of it before.Read full review

I remember watching this movie a couple years ago but i would always watch the last half of the movie since it was on regular t.v. I was glad to find it, and when i finally received it, my children and i sat and watched it from beginning to end. It was a wonderful experience being able to share with my kids a movie that it's nothing compared to what we see on tv now. Everyone had their own view about what the movie was about, but at the end we all agreed that it was a great movie.
This is such a good movie. I’ve been looking for it for a long time in stores. This was a practically a steal. I will be buying more.
