Paper Planes

Dylan Weber is a young boy in the Australian outback. His phone is old. His father (Sam Worthington) is sleeping his days away haunted by the lost of his wife. His teacher is tired of the kids with their smart phones. He has them make paper planes and Dylan's first takes off. He has many failed trials until his father shows him the winning sailboat keels. He's inspired to do research and creates a superior plane. Jason Jones is his arrogant winning-obsessed rival with former golf champion dad. It takes him to Sydney first and then Tokyo for the championship.

It's a fine uplifting family film. Considering the subject matter being kids making paper planes, the movie can't be much different than what it turns out to be. It is positive with people overcoming heartbreak. It is good people finding inspirations and bad people turning good. The villain sweeps the leg but in the end, learns a lesson. This is fine family fare.
