Watch this movie. Especially if you've gotten a bit world weary and jaded about our fellow humans. Inspiring, uplifting, and encouraging this film follows the true life story of a little boy who ups and takes some serious action to help the survivors of Hurricane Charley in Florida 2004. This little fellow's dedication and compassion for other people, especially children, is something to behold and I'll be thinking about it for a long time to come. Also, there is a subplot involving a young woman and her son that well illustrated the issues homeless families face. A family film I highly recommend parents watch with their children as it has a great message; it shows how one caring heart, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in the lives of others.

After sitting through the previews on the DVD, I thought this was going to be another cheesy scary flick I'm going to wish I hadn't ordered from Netflix. Especially in light of being a found footage film. I hate all that bobbling around but this flick is more high quality than most. Well filmed, well acted and a story line that surprised me with its' uniqueness and inventiveness. I really enjoyed films based on real life unsolved incidents and this one was one I had never heard of. While the film could not offer a confirmed answer to the mystery, it offered a way out of the box explanation that showed some serious creativity. I rarely come across a film that surprises me as this one did. Since IMDb covered the story line I will just recommend it and leave it at that.
