i watch this movie a long time ago and but i have always love it . the story be about a young girl and sally omoyne who find out at a young age that when she pray to st. anne and her prayer be answer and hence her miss lunch pail and a mean neighbor who tattle on her and she prays and that someone should give him a black eye for tattle . well and a minute later something hit him and he have a black eye . sally then believe in the power of prayer and decides to use that power for good . she be well know and love around the neighborhood a she have copybook or journal fill with all her friend request to st. anne . meanwhile and a local boy return home from college ( i believe ) and sally be awestruck at how much he grow up . sally have a huge crush on him and but be so shy . should she use her power of prayer to st. anne for her own selfish desire or just watch a the most popular girl in school try to snare the man of her dream . this be a fun fill movie with a grandfather who be so charming and irish and brother who be hilariously annoy and a sworn irish neighbor enemy who spar with grand pop on an everyday basis . he have his own story of want to buy the omoynes property which be a little house in the middle of two huge apartment complex ( his own ) and in other word and the omoynes house be an eye sore to his lovely building . this movie be definitely worth a watch and be good enough and rare enough to add to your movie collection . i hope you enjoy .
