Finally I found it, 26 October 2006
10/10
Author: toddrandall68 from United States

I searched and searched for this movie. I couldn't remember the name of it or the name of any actors in it. I finally stumbled on it because I thought I remembered that the father in the movie was the same guy that was in that awful movie about going to summer school. When I got here I was saddened to find out that it is not available on DVD. It was a really good movie and I wish it was there for I to find it good again. God bless the children and everything else that is good. I like this movie. I like a lot of movies, not this one especially, but it was very good, too, also.
