Wonderful Movie!

I would not watch or enjoy a movie with this kind of plot unless it was true. AND THIS IS!! I enjoyed watching this heart-warming story! It gave me every bit of pleasure the advertisement promised... and them some!! I challenge you to guess how it will conclude (because it sure took me by surprise!.

Heartwarming Movie

I remember seeing this movie when it was on TV. I was saddened to learn that Daniel passed in 2004.

Goofs
In the scene where Daniel is being given a blood test to check for compatibility as an organ donor, the nurse changes the tube on the hypodermic needle to take a second blood sample and tube remains empty after connecting it to the needle for the entire time it's seen on camera. Normally the blood immediately begins gushing into the tube at a quick rate.
