I'm a sucker for the coming of age stories. This one's about a high school girl who moves to a new neighbourhood, who befriends the autistic boy next door. The boy seems to be able to fly; he's obsessed with airplanes and spends long hours sitting in the window or standing on the roof.
The parts are all well played. There's lots of real emotion and a fantastic portrayal of real high school problems. Plus who doesn't dream of flying?
Some of these young actors went on to larger roles. Fred Savage looks a lot younger here than in The Princess Bride or The Wonder Years. Jason Priestley is barely recognizable.
A great family movie.
