Bill's Comments

This is an excellent movie. It is Steven King --- but (thank goodness) NOT a horror flick. It is a sensitive story about the relationship of a young boy (11 yrs) with his mother, his "girlfriend", and the unusual man who rents the apartment upstairs. I'm quite sentimental and thus their was plenty of opportunity to get wrapped up in this one. The acting is excellent and the story is touching. If you don't like this one, I'll be very surprised!
