Fred Savage (TV's "The Wonder Years") and Bonnie Bedelia ("Presumed Innocent," "Die Hard") star in a heartwarming story about the special friendship between two teenagers struggling to adjust to life after each suffers a great loss. A splendid supporting cast -- including TV heartthrob Jason Priestley ("Beverly Hills, 90210"), Emmy-winner Colleen Dewhurst ("Murphy Brown"), Fred Gwynne ("My Cousin Vinny") and Academy Award-winner Louise Fletcher ("The Cheap Detective," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") -- rounds out this story of belief in the impossible and in the magical. A wonderful film for the whole family.

Favorite movie of all time
I grew up and went to high school in the ‘80s, just like the kids in this film, and it’s still my favorite movie—ever since I saw it in 1986. Beautiful story.

A classic movie with insanely creepy scenes
This movie lol. Dude sitting in a hospital window where all one can see is his feet, super creepy haha. So many scenes like that where we just laughed! Going down the list of movies I loved as a kid and this gem finally made its way onto my memory. My 16 year old was not disappointed! She took many photos of our tv to show her friends how amazing this movie truly is.Must see lol

Fantastic and Fantastical.
It seems the most recent review was from back in 2003, So I thought I would chime in here.First, This Fred Savage was prior to Wonder Years.Then There is Mindy Cohn from before Facts of Life andFred Gwynne from the Muster's Herman fameof course there must be recognition for Colleen Dewhurst.Fred Savage was a good actor as a kid... and since he was a kid in this film, the acting skill definately shines through... and working with child actors usually leaves a pasty feel the way the first two movies in the Harry Potter did with the Wonder Triplets.There was the touch of magic to make the movie themes less intense as they could otherwise be, however the story itself is very well worked out so that everything in the final production produces a fantastic tail of rediscovery after tragic losses.If you ever stop to watch something you might just pass by, this movie will NOT leave you feeling cheated. It is well worth the watch, and at Amazon price of $7 for the unlimited stream, well worth the price. I may even opt to get a hard copy dvd or Blue Ray for my home library... we shall see though.By the way -- this is a fairly family friendly movie, but does contain some "bullying" sequences and some child-sensitive (for the early 80s) ideas, "this isn't water in the sqirtgun, it's piss." ... of course this would not even be offensive by the standards of 2013.But it still works.You know what, just watch the movie and you will know why modern movies just dont match the older stuff for quality.
