this film be a perfect example of great escapism . i love this film and be suck in from the very begin . sure it just an action flick and but isn not have fun what watch movie be all about . the cast of this film be very strong with likable character . the friendship between the boy be so realistic and appeal and it heart warm and hilarious to see a group of teenage boy interact especially this group of boy . sean astin make a great rebel and successfully avoid be a precocious teenager . if you want fun and watch this film . i thoroughly enjoy it even though i be watch it on a very dirty and old vhs that be terrible quality ( go dvd . ) .
