A good movie for kids. Even Isabelle - who has seen very few movies because she is easily scared or emotionally upset by scenes that are in any way unpleasant - watched the whole movie and enjoyed it.I liked the messages that the movie conveyed. A boy who struggled in school found joy in learning when he found a subject about which he was enthusiastic. The same boy saw a problem and found a solution - even though implementing that solution required going out on a limb and committing a lot more than he ever imagined. A young man who was dealt a major blow in the prime of his life learns - with some help from the boy - to overcome personal, physical, and emotional challenges. You get the idea that you should push yourself to do more than you think you can, and every person can make a real impact if they are willing to take action.
I thought for sure that the single mom and the single dad would get together, but the movie skipped that Hollywood twist.
