Reviews
The background and conditions under which this film (part of HBO's Proejct Greenlight) was produced and documented (with step-by-step accuracy, humor, and cynicism, and self-importance) overshadow by far its underwhelming artistic merits; it's a clunker
The young stars are too cute; the story and ensuing complications are too manipulative; the message is too blatant; the resolutions are too convenient.
Jones has delivered a solidly entertaining and moving family drama.
Debut effort by "Project Greenlight" winner is sappy and amateurish.
A period story about a Catholic boy who tries to help a Jewish friend get into heaven by sending the audience straight to hell.
A sweet, engaging family story about the nature of faith and the power of youthful innocence.
The behind the scenes series is more interesting than the resulting movie, but it's still worth taking a look.
