Editorial Reviews

In this film by writer-director M. Night Shyamalan, a young boy learns lessons about life and God during a trying year of discovery in fifth grade at a Catholic boys' school. As the school year opens, Joshua Beal (Joseph Cross) is despondent over the recent death of his grandfather (Robert Loggia). On his first day at school, Joshua is harassed by the class bully. Because his grandfather played football, Joshua tries out for the school team, over the objections of his parents (Dana Delaney and Denis Leary), two physicians who don't like the risk of injury. But Joshua is inept athletically and does not make the team. Joshua continues to seek answers from God about his grandfather, so his teacher, Sister Terry (Rosie O'Donnell), advises him to approach a cardinal who is coming to visit the nearby girls school. Joshua meets a young girl at the school and falls for her. As the year goes by, Joshua continues his quest for spiritual answers and finds them in unexpected places, such as a winter snowstorm. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

July 01, 2004: I just saw this movie on Starz and I was mildly impressed. I am a hardcore M. Night Shyamalan fan. I have seen all of his recent movies (Sixth Sense,Unbreakable,and Signs) and I think he is the most exciting new filmmaker out there. So now I wanted to go back before his breakout success with the sixth sense and see what his early movies where like. There is this movie and another, 'Praying with Anger'(which I haven't seen yet). I think this movie is pretty good. It was well written by Night and the directing was also good in a non- showy sort of way that fit the material quite well. The acting was solid all the way around the horn. Little Joseph Cross's performance was strong enough to make the movie work. All together it was a well made movie, but it didn't really dazzle me like Night's previous work. Still a good one, though.
