when the movie the cure start and we find out about a young man name erik ( brad renfro ) . erik be a teenage boy live with his paranoid mother and and live next door to him be a young boy name dexter ( joseph mazello ) . one day and erik and dexter connect and head up to the supermarket and where dexter get his first taste of butterfinger . when erik learn out that dexter have aid and he try leaf and water tea to make it good . but when the front cover of the national enquirer say a new orleans doctor have find the cure for aid and the two boy will stop at nothing to get to new orleans for the cure . in my opinion and the cure be easily one of the best friendship movie ever make . it show unconditional love between a boy and his ( new ) best friend and and his best friend mom . everything be so well do and nothing need to be change . not only do i give this a positive for be a fantastic friendship movie and but it also be a sad and but humorous and and fun aid movie . and the tragic finale with dexter contraction of aid be enough to make me shed a tear . very well do .
