A parable for adults -- particularly men.

I love this movie. It has touching moments and a great message for all of us that reminds us to keep alive the kid we all have inside.

This is a wonderful family movie with a lot of funny and warm moments. Bruce Willis and Spencer Breslin were fantastic.

Vigilant viewers may spend many of the 101 minutes fixating on tiny holes in the plot, but I was busy being moved by the premise and the filmmakers' confidence in the power of their metaphor: a little boy who's disappointed in the man he grew up to be.

Audrey Wells's script and Turteltaub's presentation ring true just often enough to prevent the comedy from descending forever into Cutesy-Wutesy Hell.

Willis and Breslin are stuck in a charmless, predictable picture they can't escape.

Falls flat on its face.

The Kid's denouement resembles the nightmare that would have transpired had execs foisted a toupee and a happy ending on "12 Monkeys."
