Hooray for Little Boy!

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2015)

A surprisingly moving, poignant and memorable family film about faith, family and friendship. LITTLE BOY is a powerful and moving, utterly unique story that will capture your heart and inspire your faith. It tells the heartwarming story of a little boy who is willing to do whatever it takes to bring his dad home from World War II alive. Set in the 40's, Little Boy is a cinematic classic that captures the wonder of life, faith and struggles through the eyes of an 8-year-old boy. Central to the film's story line is "The List", a "magical card" a priest gives Little Boy to help him do good and increase his faith. The List is well known to many as the corporal works of mercy. Plan to take your entire family to see this film and spend time talking about the power of faith, of family, and the need for reconciliation in our selves, our families and our community. I was not expecting much more than a feel good movie, but was moved much more deeply throughout the entire film by the depth of the story line, the excellent acting and the engaging plot lines. Definitely worth seeing more than once and worth bringing the entire family. It's about time there were strong films for the entire family like this one. Hooray for Little Boy!
