Featured review
This movie was pretty good. It had a nice upbeat tone throughout and was a pleasant experience to watch.
It's about a kid who moves to Florida and, in addition to being hassled as the 'new kid' at school, gets involved with learning the about the mysterious "barefoot kid" and some little critters in need of help.
What keeps this movie moving along are two things. One is great acting performances by Logan Lerman (lead role), Brie Larson (scary tough girl) and Luke Wilson (police officer). The other is the intrigue level the story maintains by slowly revealing things about the characters and the story.
All in all, this is a pretty nice, well-made, upbeat movie that just can appeal to both kids and adults.
