Freddie Muniz plays Willie, an only child growing up in 1940s Mississippi. He's withdrawn, alienated from his father, unathletic, and picked on by the neighborhood kids. That is, until his 9th birthday when his Mom gets him a terrier puppy, Skip. Then, as if by magic, everything starts going right for him; popularity, puppy love, respect, and so on. But then that's about it. There's a minor dramatic story, but it concerns a neighbor who's not a major character. Plus, there are a few exciting childhood adventures, one with local moonshiners
.but nothing on par with a film like "Stand By Me". This is definitely a movie for those who like Disney's family fare. You guys will love it. Everyone else may doze off.
