Sorry but I cannot tolerate films about stupid people and all of the characters in this film are just that. The little boy is good enough but I suspect this was a much more interesting book. Were I this kid, I really can't say I'd want to be related to any of them.
The absentee father, Logan, promises to fix things for the kid and then disappears. The rich aunt is conveniently killed in a tacky ferry boat accident. The one time the aunt whom he wanted to live with had her chance, she clams up in an asthmatic attack in court. And her husband, the kid's beloved uncle has a nervous breakdown when the kid colors in his "beloved book". Here in the States we have Lifetime Television Movies - for women. That sums this thing up for me. I guess women might like it. I sure didn't.
