Movie Reviews of The Boy Who Could Fly

Movie Review: Watch this film. It will change your life.
Summary: 4 Stars

The Boy Who Could Fly is a feel good film about plane crashes, mental illness, and alcoholism. I guess you could argue that it's also about a boy. The boy who could fly. The film revolves around the interactions of an autistic, depressed, mute, withdrawn guy whose parents died in a plane crash and his average, non-cheerleader, nicey nice, cute new next-door neighbor. He's an outcast. She's an outcast. Naturally they get together. She attempts to connect with him. They play catch. It's all very sweet. Inevitably they fly. Although the flying part is never really explained. I'm thinking, much like the show Heroes, it must have been a genetic mutation brought on by the trauma of losing loved ones. The movie features several well knowns actors in various stages of their careers. It also shows underage drinking, smoking, and an alcoholic uncle that will make you want to cry. When did "kid" movies get so PG? "The Boy Who Could Fly" is a great movie. I highly recommend it. If anything you will appreciate how far special effects have come in the last 20 years.

Movie Review: A movie about hope
Summary: 4 Stars

I remember this movie from years ago, and was looking for some uplifting title to watch and finally bought this. Fred Savage is wonderful as an eight year old dealing with his father's death. This movie does have a few "gimme a break" moments, but if you just suspend judgement it will make you feel so good. The message of the movie is that anything is possible, and it really is. You will smile.

Movie Review: Sweet story with a "feel good" ending
Summary: 4 Stars

Okay, yes, it's mindless entertainment and very predictable, but I have always loved this film. Who among us hasn't dreamed of being able to fly off, forgetting our cares? I particularly found Jay Underwood's performance as 'Eric' to be right on target and enjoyable.

Movie Review: A Cute Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I remember seeing this movie as a kid and wanted to see it again. It is a little far out there but no diffent then all these action movies out today. It is just a good wholesome move that you would be able to watch with your family.

Movie Review: BOY WHO COULD FLY
Summary: 4 Stars

The Boy Who Could Fly is an excellent movie for all ages. The plot and cast appeal to anyone interested in a movie that is not all violence or sex. Children can enjoy the "flying" aspect, but adults can relate to the basic story.
