Recently I've been watching some live action Disney films and this one stood out from the crowd as possibly one of the best formulated live action Disney films of the modern nature.

It's about a boy who doesn't fit in with his family or his school life and when a new girl starts at the school he and she become great friends. Now this does sound like a typical Disney film but it has one small difference, it has some highly emotional scenes and is quite different from any other Disney film I've seen. I don't know many modern Disney films that deal so openly with the concepts it has dealt with and makes it so realistic.

I think it is a brilliant film and I was wondering if anyone else has seen it and feels the same way or slightly different about it?

Didn't know that was a Disney made film. I usually like Disney live action movies. I haven't seen that movie though, but now I'll keep in mind next time I feel like watching something.

Yeah it's quite a surprising live action one though. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, although I went in with really low opinions of it, just goes to show you, you cannot judge something by a really poor description.

I read the book it was based on. I feel that the movie didn't follow the book very well, but it got the key points right and it was still good.

The book almost made me cry. It really did. Read it your self and you will cry too.

I agree completely.
It was an okay movie, but the book is waaay better. And I totally did cry when I read it. Unfortunately I was reading it at school at the time... I was kind of embarrassed there.
Anyway, good movie, better book.
