Movie Info

Clay Crosby never had the chance to know his late father very well and it created a void in his life. At 15, he finds a pair of shoes, tries them on, and suddenly finds himself whisked back to the days when his father was a teen. When he takes the shoes off, he returns to his own time. Each time he travels backward, Clay draws more insight into his father's personality and life, things that help the boy deal more effectively with his own life and family. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

It?s a well meaning and rather sweet story. It has a unique approach to it?s message. The performances make up for the lack of thought put into the period detail. In general, it?s a fine and moving film.
