I wanted to watch it because it's one of the very few 90's films that I have never seen. I like to share my childhood with my daughter, so I thought, "A 90's movie not even I'VE seen before... It'll be nice to watch it with Alize". Boy, was I wrong. This movie was a complete waste of time. Our movie night, ruined. Jonathan Taylor Thomas was an amazing child actor. This movie is beneath him. And his brother who played Casper in the original Casper film... I've always loved him. Good actors, stupid movie. Doesn't deserve the score it has on IMDb. This movie is a 2, maybe 3, tops, but only because of the good actors. However, no matter how good of actors there are in this movie, not one of them was convincing. I don't blame them though. The movie doesn't know which direction it's going, whether it's drama, comedy, coming of age, etc. It's overly dramatic, and the characters have random outbursts. Reminds me of a Spanish soap opera, a "telenovala". Being that this movie was based on a true story, I wonder how the real brothers felt about the movie and how their characters were portrayed. Let's just say, I wouldn't be a happy camper if that were me.
