If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Thanks to Hulu, I was able to see this movie. I glanced over it, then after awhile , I said, I should watch this before its taken down (hulu takes movies down some reason..space maybe for newer movies to come in?)Anyway, glad I did, very inspirational movie, I felt at times I wanted to cry. It's so unique, its rare I think, I don't think many know about this movie, its no so big like Pixar or from a company I ever heard of, but its still great! I recommend this movie, good animation, funny at times, its worth a watch. I'm not sure if its on DVD but if it is, I'd buy it :) One thing I didn't understand was, the boy has cancer, and they kept telling him to believe and to have faith, how can faith change the cancer inside you, to fight it off? I guess it's because you never know what will happen, but hope for the best, but at the same time, not getting your hopes up or dashed dreams! Great movie, I love it!
I gave this animation a high rating because it was kind of inspirational. As I watched the movie and listened to reasons Jack made for not being able to do the things it reminded of me and the reasons I make for not being able to do the things I wanted in my life. Reminded me of how safe I played everything and wanted to keep things status quo. It was great to watch Jack make a change in his perspective with help from Henry to expand the small world he lived in to one with more possibilities. Nowadays they don't make very many movies animation or otherwise to inspire one to expand and grow. Instead, we get lots of movies with special effects, violence, fear, survival, sex, vampires, etc.. So cheers for one focused on how to believe in possibilities outside your limitations.
