Very nice, inspirational story. Wanted to show this to a pack of Cub Scouts, but thankfully I pre-screened it. This would have been an excellent, family-friendly movie if it were not for a slew of curse words about half-way through the film. None before or after, so it's unfortunate that they couldn't have chosen better language.

Otherwise, very nice story, beautiful cinematography, nice message. August 12, 2008

I love this movie! It's a true story and that makes it even better. I ordered a VHS tape so my grand daughter could handle it without "scratching it" like a CD. It was in great shape. February 8, 2008

I love this movie! I found it on TV while channel-surfing one Sunday afternoon and thought it was both moving and hilarious. It reminded me of a time and a spirit of adventure that unfortunately may be lost forever for today's youth. The story is loosely based on the real life adventures of Marty Stouffer, renowned wildlife photographer as narrated by his brother, Marshall. Marshall, little 'Zero', youngest and smallest of the Stouffer brothers, is often the guinea pig of his brothers' experiments but has a close relationship with his dad and is eagerly awaiting the day when they will fly together in an airplane that they are restoring together.

There are some very funny scenes in this movie as the boys journey far away from home to film a movie about wildlife in America and many life lessons as the boys learn to depend upon each other and begin to mature into young men.

Marshall's growth from hapless child into courageous young man is remarkable and his changing relationships with his family members notable. His first airplane flight, although reckless, was exciting and memorable, to say the least. (Part of the true story or artistic license)? It's hard to say but it's an enjoyable part of the tale.

I bought the DVD and am saving it to watch with my grandsons when they are a little older. I think they will enjoy it as much as I do!
