Movie Reviews of The Boy Who Could Fly

Movie Review: "An old-fashioned story of young love!'
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is a wonderful story of a friendship that develops between a sensitive girl and an autistic boy. The cast is very impressive but the actor that will impress you most is Lucy Deakins, despite the title of the film she is the lead. It not only the fact that she is radiantly beautiful, but she brings to her character,"Milly",a gentle melancholy that could melt the hardest of hearts. The relationships with "Eric", Jay Underwood, the "Boy" of the title and with the members of Milly's family are held together by Deakins' strong performance. A great film all around and probably the most heartwarming you will ever see!

Movie Review: My feelings toward The boy who could fly, DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This has been one of my favorite movies. Its a great movie for a dreamer like me. It consist of a family with personal problems with the loss of the man of the house who move in next door to a boy
who lost his mother and dad in a plane crash. The problems are solved the boy who taps his inter most
being and somehow works magic. The move is very warm, entertaining movie. It has a happy ending, but
not quiet the happy ending I would like to have seen. I would recommend it to anyone who likes family
emotions mixed with a bit, alright a lot of magic.

Movie Review: Takes You Higher than Jackie Wilson.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the most overlooked charmers of the 80's. Owing a great deal to Peter Pan,with a dash of Disney, this is wonderful family fare. It is so perfectly cast and executed that,as an adult, you must keep from jumping into the movie. Bonnie Bedelia plays the overwrought single-mom, new to the neighborhood and challenged by special ed difficulties in her family alone. With imagination and educated guesses, her family survives intact.A soaring achievement, the perfect antidote to mindless plots, endless commercials and gratuitous violence.

Movie Review: A good, old-fashioned story
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of those good-feel movies you remember watching as a teenager. Some parts are too "kiddie" for my liking (Fred Savage and the neighbours for instance) but I guess the movie makers wanted this to be a family movie...something for every one. The flying parts are just as good as the original Superman, amazing what they can do with a small budget. These movies beat the s.... out of the newer "digitally" animated Superman movies (surely there is a new franchise coming up!). Enjoy.

Movie Review: Good DVD but annoying commentary!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love the DVD it is great but the actors in the commentary are so annoying. They compliment on the movie way too much and it gets on my nerves. It gets good in a bit of a couple of scenes but it's just annoying how they just compliment on them too much. I quit watching the commentary but the movie is really great and it's a great family movie of the 80's.
