Magnolia Home Entertainment's tidy DVD release is probably better than the film deserves ....

What starts out as an adolescent boy's adventure story unexpectedly turns into some kind of mystical meditation on life and death, but it doesn't really work on either level.

...buoyed by several superb performances and occasional bursts of authenticity.

Little more than a CBS Sunday night movie that peddles inspirational fairy tale schmaltz and middling humor by the coffin-full.

Is this supposed to be moving? when nothing is convincing except for a few moments, when most of the characters are annoying specially that religious doctor, when acting is awful & the ending? afterlife? heaven? huh...oh & well a boy's ultimate wish being being with an annoying model for a week? ok

This movie is amazing for one main reason - the range of emotions you have potential too feel through out it are insane. They go from laughing, to mad, to crying all in a matter of seconds. I was impressed with all the actors even though I really have not seen any of them play in previous films (besides Ethan Hawke)
