Emmett

Loved this unusually touching and funny movie for all the usual reasons -- great script, superb acting and beautiful, subtle direction. Miles Brown is Emmett, a junior high school prodigy, and Rita Wilson is Mary, a mystery writer, who joins forces with him to exonerate Emmett's brother, under suspicion for a series of thefts. Brown and Wilson are outstanding in their roles and make a truly winning odd couple. A captivating movie of great humor and imagination, whose life lessons and heartfelt moments are handled with a light touch. This one's sure to be a classic.
