A proper tear-jerker where Cuba Gooding Jr. showed us what a good actor he was before he decided to call it quits a few years later. And because I didn’t mind the story I was happy with the film. A lot of people on this site criticize the movie for being too pathetic and trying to milk the audience’s emotion. Well, I don’t give a damn about that stuff. I was watching a story of a boy who didn’t have it easy and people who wanted to help him at all cost… and I simply enjoyed it. So why go looking for flaws?
