Rounding First

I saw this film at the Hawaii Film Festival and loved it! It is very well made and very well acted. It's hard to get good performances out of child actors, but the three main boys of the story are very believable and talented. It's a great coming-of-age story that is set in the 80's and the clothing and hair and even the music are very authentic and reflect that. The film reminded me a lot of "Stand by Me" although without the "R" rating of having swearing or finding a dead body! It's a family film but the crowd I saw it with ranged in age from 10 or 11 years old to grandparents. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the film and it got a great reception from the audience. I highly recommend checking this film out if you can. In this day and age of huge commercial flops like "The Island" or "Stealth" or "Aeon Flux" it's nice to see a quality made, family film that is heart-felt and entertaining.
