Featured review
This movie, if I remember correctly, originally aired on HBO.
A friend of mine taped it for me and sent it to me as a gift because he had an idea I would like it.
Boy, was that an understatement.
The movie reminded me of a Tarzan movie called "Tarzan And The Jungle Boy", where they find a boy who crashed in the jingle and spent years there before he was found.
The two brothers who play Lazaro, Alessandro Rabelo and Marcelo Rabelo, look so much alike that it's no wonder they chose them to play the same character at different ages. They both give a stunning performance as the adoreable jungle boy.
