Looking for Miracles

This movie has been a personal favorite of mine for a long time. I first watched it on the Disney Channel when I was young. It took me a long time finally get the video and hope it will be released on DVD soon. I believe the reason why I admire this film so much is that the story portrays a very real relationship between two brothers. The older brother Ryan, (played wonderfully by Greg Spottiswood) is really irritated when he has to accomodate his plans to fit in with taking care of his little brother, Sullivan (a charming performance by Zachary Bennett) . He feels more like Sullivan is a nuisance more than a brother. This is a scenario I can realate to being the oldest of many younger sibs. When they get to camp is where the characters really develop and the scenes are well done. They go from being really funny and embarrassing to heart warming and tender. Ratface was a wonderful character too and I'm suprized the boy who played him (Noah Godfrey)was not in more films. The supporting cast were all fabulous and I also like the scenes where it's just Ryan and the other councelors he's over was well, especially where he and Moe sneak off to the girl's camp. Uplifting movie with a beautiful message and excellent acting. This film was also set in the 1930's and I found the clothing, scenery and dialogue to very historically accurate. Terrific movie directed by the same man who gave us the wonderful saga of Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea. A real pleasure to watch and I recommend it to everyone.
