a film i fell in love with as a kid, 28 September 2004
10/10
Author: nightstalker_66 from wilmington, nc

This film happens to be one of my most favorite movies i've seen. I remember watching this film as a kid and there's just something about it every time i see it. Actually the film was made in the town i visit everyday or almost everyday. It allows me to feel really good every time i see it. Almost makes me believe that an angel will come and visit me. Not to be sappy but i get a little teary from the film.(it takes a real man to admit) and every time i eat french fries it hits me again. Although the acting was not the greatest, but hey its the 80s gotta love it!!! Not like the 90s and 2000s have any better acting. And yes in closing i have the DVD of this film to watch over and over again!!! Its just a good feel Good movie!! highly recommended!
