On the Wing, based on an original screenplay by Jerry Casagrande, is aimed at the younger population of movie-goers, but is very entertaining for all ages. The cast is superb: Corbin Bernsen is an experienced and very credible senator; Shirley Jones is perfect as the family matriarch. But the kudos do not only go to these two well-known actors: the lesser known actors have demonstrated wonderful acting skills in this movie, and truly seemed to have fun shooting it. I suspect many of them will go far in their careers. The kids are all naturals, and the more seasoned actors, such as Mary Agnes Shearon and Dan DeLuca, are absolutely perfect for their roles- they adapt to the comedic twist in a way that is appropriate for the intended audience. There are lots of laughs and the film delivers a very important message for kids/teens to hear. This is a great movie for the entire family: a must see!
