Run time 110 mins Certificate 12

7th July 2009

I rented this movie and was pleasantly surprised at what a hidden gem i had come across. The young actors 'Wood' & 'Mazzello' give fantastic performances as brothers who spend an eventful and highly emotional summer', building a working plane called the 'Radio Flyer'.

'Tom Hanks' also stars as the 'Storyteller' and we have great support from 'Bracco' as the boys mother and 'Adam Baldwin' as the abusive step-father.

I know this film is classed as 'Family' entertainment but i was totaly amazed as it holds so many hidden questions that only adults could relate to.

If you like a good 'coming of age' movie with pure escapism, tear-jerker moments and something to think about afterwards, then this is the rental for you :)
