One reviewer mentioned "grin" .. and that this is .. but there is definitely more to this movie .. its Touching and makes you Curious .. this are Real, Believable characters and while they are poor (nope, no action-packed anime', pixels or fantasy Star Rings of Hogwaorths here ..) its about Real Life sturggles .. the ones Out There that families go through .. its also about not giving up, not taking Hand Outs, about backbone and pride in its Truest form .. and its about about Forgivness, and Learning, at Any age . So while there might be a "god damnit" in there or a scene with mildly sexual innuendoes, its Part of Life and (nothing compared to One episode of South Park, which I guarantee you, your kids ARE watching !) This movie is older and while the scene that bothered me the most was with the (sorry, spoiler alert) belt, it also represents the times .. so dont buy into the terrible reviews, go ahead and watch this, but just know while you will feel for some of the characters, dont expect the heroic ending where Super Iron Magic Man comes in with his Wizard Wand and makes the King of the Mushroom People pay for all of his evil spells .. its a simple movie, with drama and valued lessons that we expect .. 4 stars easy for a decent cast and lasting classic ..
