Powerful film, but enjoyable for all!, 28 February 1999
10/10
Author: Jacob Albers (janbers@geocities.com) from Saint Louis, Missouri, USA

This movie has an awesome message, as well and a very compelling story. It is very easy to identify with Smoky Banks, and it is heartwarming to see how Danny's persistence and unconditional love can help change even the hardest heart. I would recommend it for every family! But don't stop there; let your friends and relatives see it also, because it has a message that you will never forget!
