couldn't stand it... very slow moving.. the premise for the story was not convincing and did not even make sense - and the max von sydow character goes along with it all?? one of the slowest movies i have ever seen, though some of the ideas the tom hanks character shared with his son were interesting.

9/11 is still a sensitive subject to portray on film and there can be a good movie made out of looking at the grief. it should not have been treated like lightly, especially when dealing with the point of view. the kid was the most unpleasent kid i ever had to watch. in one scene, he said that he was tested for aspergers. i don't know whether it's worst that he does have it or not. if he does, than ask one question, suppose if this kid was suppose to represent children of the victims of 9/11, why didn't the filmmakers just make him an average child. i don't want to say "normal". why does he have to have the disability? it just comes off as a gimmick, to make the film seem "quirky" when i

i really enjoyed this film. nice performances, especially by young tom horn. i found the story multi-layered and emotional. the subject matter was sad, but ultimately up-lifting.

it would of been so much better without the child actor. he was very hard to identify with, and the story would of been much better with a regular child to better bring forth the emotional and human aspects of this film.
