Trivia:
Haley Joel Osment was contracted without knowing which studio would make the movie and who were the other main leads. This was against standard Hollywood practice and surprised Eugene Osment (Haley's father and manager) at first, but he agreed to "use" his son to get the remainder of the cast and the studio.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The sections of the biplane have obviously been carefully inserted into precut holes made into the barn.

This movie made us laugh, and cry. It touches on every aspect of growing up and growing old. It addresses the right way to live, and the wrong.
There's some humor from the crotchety old uncles and some sadness from a boy who is unfortunate to have an irresponsible mother.
There are swashbuckling sword fights and several surprises that keep it moving at a pleasant pace. If I tell you more it will ruin it. The surprises are what make it so special.
The less you know about this movie before watching it the better.
It left me feeling so good, I watched it again the very next night. It was a rental.
Unless you are a very hardened person, I guarantee you will laugh many times and even the toughest ones who NEVER cry at movies will have a scowl on their face at least once.
I plan to buy a version of this the first chance I get.
