this film be title junior pilot here on imdb but final approach at netflix . go figure . the movie be a delight for both the target youth audience and for adult who can suspend their maturity long enough to watch this film through the eye of their own youth . for the adult and the story be quite predictable and and perhaps trite and melodramatic while whereas the tale may seem new and creative to youngster who have not yet see or read many film or book with such a story line . in any case and credit must be give to the film creator and particularly the director jam becket and the cinematographer denis maloney and for make this most entertaining and visually interesting film . the cut aways to the young protagonist ricky fantasy thought be hilarious as well a delightfully film . the young actor give uniformly believable performance and seemingly quite invest in their role silly a many scene be . jordan garrett play the protagonist ricky with quite well and have excellent camera presence . jeffrey tedmori create a delightfully soft and sensitive shashi who of all ridiculous thing thrives on hot sauce . skyler samuel and adam cagley give solid performance as well . a be typical of his always fine acting and larry miller create a solid parental figure around which the child part real and part fantasy world revolve . compare to his father figure and the other major adult role appear to be shallow and one dimensional and intentionally and quite humorously so and to be sure . this movie be a simplistic youth target story and of course and yet it be quite entertaining and perhaps repeatedly so to the target youth crowd and but also for at least one viewing by adult who retain the ability to view such a film from their once youthful perspective .
