a tale of a young boy and dexter ( joseph mazzello ) with aid who befriend a rough and tumble boy ( play by brad renfro ) his exact opposite and the cure be sad and if a bit too soapy and pull at your emotion message movie with it heart in the right place . for that fact alone and it a recommended view . the highlight might be just watch them find friendship and hang out with each other when no one else accept them . however since the real story center on the boy aids thing take off when one day at the local supermarket and dexter eye catch a checkout tabloid magazine that state a new orleans doctor have discover the cure . both of them and obviously a tad naive and make it a plan to set out for new orleans in whichever mean possible . which kinda pull me two way . it a mite heart warm and i hate to nit pick and but i find the plot wanders in a melodramatic and predictable sense and the proceeding have a coat of gloss over them like only movie can do . i couldn not escape the tugging notion i be watch a road trip movie about self discovery and sickness and grow up . for instance and i know theyre young and but i find it a real task to belief in the thing these boy do . like boil tree leaf and drink the hot tea or eat an experimental diet of chocolate bar because they believe it will combat the ravaging disease . to say nothing of them make a cross country voyage a they do with no legal or downright scary repercussion . still misgiving aside and those movie convention you come to expect and it a story worth see particularly with family .
