I found this to be an extremely wonderful DVD. Peter Falk is already one of my favourite actors ... and he plays his part so well in this touching movie. This young boy is sent from the tough life of inner-city, to spend the summer with Peter Falk's son (in the movie). However, his son has no sense of -- responsibility, nor committment ... and he is gone before the boy even arrives. One thing leads to the next, and Peter Falk decides to take on the challenge of looking after him and caring for him. At first, they do NOT get along, always at complete odds with each other. But as the story unfolds, you begin to see a bond starting up between them. Tragedy strikes in the family of the young boy, and he is more than devastated by it. With Peter Falk's disappointment with his own son, and trying to open up a trusting bond with this young lad visiting ... the story is sincerely felt and appreciated. It's a story of -- accepting people "in spite of" our differences; learning to trust one another; overcoming with forgiveness (knowing that none of us are perfect); realizing that a true friendship can occur between the immaturity of a beligerant youth and the maturity of a embittered senior; and, opening up to love, once again. I was moved by this heart-warming story, and strongly recommend it.
