A real tearjerker
Review date: 2007-05-06 Rating: 10 out of 10
This film was one of the most moving films I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! It tells a story of one family's courage when dealing with a death in the family, especially when he is a child and way too young to die. It is also a story of a young boy's courage, all the pain he went through and yet accepting that he will die young and yet stand strong. Even though the topic is grim, the film does not always focus on the negative aspects. It also focus' on the postive aspects, like when his new baby brother arrives, he lives long enough to see him, and the baby is born without haemophilia (which all the other brothers have, and is the reason as to why Ben has AIDS). Also the Grandfather makes the child's coffin (which shows the family's tight bond). The acting is also top-notch, notably from Linda Hamilton and Richard Thomas as the devoted parents who has to deal with their son's early death (NO PARENT SHOULD BURY THEIR CHILD). Joshua Harris' performance as Ben Madison was exceptional. His emotions are spot on, and he really brought Ben's plight to life (well done!!!). I really would recommend this beautiful film to everyone.

One of the best films I have seen
Review date: 2003-06-16 Rating: 10 out of 10
This film is amazing, it is so touching and moving a real tearjerker.
When I first saw it I cried from nearly beginning to end. This film really gets you and tugs hard at the old heartstrings.
Its is basically about the plight of a young boy who has contracted AIDs and follows through from his diagnosis to the day he dies.
I am not joking, you will need a box of tissues while watching this film. It will make grown men cry.
All I can say is, buy this film, it is worth the money.
Exceedingly sad but beautifully portrayed

I saw this movie on TV about two years ago. I only caught the last half of it, and it effected me to such a degree that I have never forgotten what I did see of it. I am happy to find it here, and am just about to purchase it, so that I can review it better, and keep it for always.
