Wow! This was a suprise. It's a really heartfelt coming-of-age story with great acting, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good movie.

This is a wonderful coming of age story with likeable charaters. The one thing that I liked was Andy's belief that he had to do what he needed to do. I like Julie Hagerty in her role as the dying parent.
