Heart stopping and timely!

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2007)

This movie was clean, thought provoking, and crosses the generation gap. I enjoyed the fact that the parents were involved in Sam's life, but where were the other parents? I thought that at least one of the parents or teachers should have come to this great competition. It is not completely factual, but that was not the goal. If you want facts about this type of event go see a documentary. I liked Jack and Lucy uniting in their concern for each other and their son. It was refreshing to see teen-agers that were proud of being smart. Jack reminded me of Harrison Ford, he even held his mouth the same way Harrison Ford does in movies when he is upset. I especially appreciated the lack of sex, alcohol, profanity, and other negative behaviors.
