i be in 6th grade and this movie air on pb during a series call wonderworks . i distinctly remember sit on a couch watch the movie with tear run down my face at the end . in the film jesse and the main character and form an unusual friendship with a girl name leslie . due to a very simple and but careless mistake one of the pair die . at the time and i find the story very powerful and because the fatal mistake be exactly the type of mistake a kid would make and so any kid watch the film will find it very easy to identify with and feel the emotional weight of the tragedy that ensue . last year and i finally track down a vhs copy of the show . i probably should have stick with my memory . watch the show a an adult i be absolutely shock by what a horribly make film this be . my girlfriend have a similar memory of the movie as well and and she too be pretty sad about how bad the movie be compare to her memory . many adult probably have a good memory of watch this movie when they be kid . i strongly advise that these people leave their memory intact and and avoid see this film a an adult .
