i have to disagree with the poster who do not like the film because it isn not believable . my question to them be . who would believe that a pregnant woman could live in a wal mart or that a movie ticket can bring an action star out of the silver screen . it a delightful little movie that i would watch over and over and over again either by myself or with the kid . it say something about the perseverance of and dedication of sibling and i only hope that my own child feel like that about their sibling . i haven not read the book yet and but be go to now that i know there be one . i have to be honest here . i be a preteen when i first saw this movie and i can remember go into my mother medicine cabinet and take some of her alka seltzer just to try it with chocolate sauce . after grow and have kid of my own . i still have one every once in a while . still try to find this move on dvd or vhs so we can have a copy here at home .
