This is a sad yet hopeful tale of childhood troubles, and the two kids that overcome them. The movie is really dark (especially for the feel-good category), but has childlike optimism that is slightly contagious. I found it easy to get caught up in the imaginations of the two main characters, as well as to empathize with their struggles.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone who likes to look on the bright side every now and then. I think that you'll easily enjoy this one, and you may even cry a little.

I have been a fan of this movie since it came out even though it wasn't a big success in the theatres. David M. Evans' Sandlot was a much more successful story sold at the same time, but I find that this film has a charm and innocence not found in a lot of other films. The fact that this film captures childhood so well, both the freedoms and the struggles, makes this one of my top choices still even after all of these years.
Wood and Mazzello do a wonderful job as Mike and Bobby, the two young boys who put their mother before them even at a cost too high for any child to pay. Their performances alone make this a good hit, but the scenes and the writing are also superb.
