This movie was a TOTAL drag! It will not keep your kids interested at all! The story line was much to involved, and even I had a hard time staying awake for the whole movie. It is very depressing. If you have kids that are under 13, don't buy this movie, and expect them to hang around the popcorn. Eventhough there is a "moral" to the story, kids will not wait around for the whole movie to "get it". Do not recommend this movie for anyone under 20, and even us oldtimers thought it was too heavy. I walked away from seeing this with a "wasted my money" feeling.
