Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

phd_travel This movie is one of those heart warming movies that has all the right elements. It isn't just one of those movies that jump on the WWII band wagon types. There actually is a charming and moving story that involves the war to be told here. Enjoyed the slightly magic realism nostalgic style of the movie that had a Forrest Gump quality to it.The cast are all good from big names like Emily Watson to Kevin James to the other less famous supporting cast. The actor who plays the little boy is effective at tugging at the heart stings when necessary. Reminds a bit of the recent underrated "Book Thief" which also has Emily Watson. Good trend to turn to historical settings to make family movies.Worth watching/

mom-41721 This is a heartwarming beautiful story. Now one of my all time favorites! My whole family was crying! Beautifully written. I could not believe how faithful it stayed to the Catholic faith. No Father Fluffies - just good old fashioned truth and love. There are always struggles in life - sometimes we get off the path - but I loved how the influence of the faith never left.This movie has a great 40's vintage California feel on the coast - they captured it completely. I felt like I was stepping into that era. Beautifully done. A wonderful family movie - it's inspiring! Little Boy will have you captivated and sitting on the edge of your seat! God bless everyone involved and thank you for making such a wonder-filled movie.

sofires This movie is incredible. It has a great cast, the boy is an amazing actor and you really connect with him. You share his emotions during the whole movie. I laughed and cried at the same time. The plot is interesting and moving, it leaves a good message of tolerance and respect more than a religious one as some the critics have said. The music is also good and the costumes and art direction is great! Honestly I recommend this movie for everyone, adults, kids and the whole family! Also it has content that is relevant for the moment of the movie. Give the movie a chance and don't be lead by the comments and ratings of the critics.

wesleyjnixon I took my kids to see this while it was still in the theaters, and we all loved the movie. However, the miracles and tolerance lectures were so prominent that even my children thought it was a bit sappy.The story is great, and you can't help but get a little choked up over the "Little Boy's" love and faith. So, if you go into the movie knowing that it is very moral-focused movie, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more than we did.It was also great to see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa again. He did the most justice to his character, and seemed to pull real emotion from the young Jakob Salvati.
