Reviews
One of the best family films of the 80s. Lucy Deakins and Jay Underwood are delightful. A film you'll cherish forever.
It's sweet, it's touching, it's occasionally pretty corny -- but I've got a soft spot for this one all the same.
A feel good movie about a teenager who cares deeply about another person and, in the process, experiences the renewal of her mind and spirit.
