A superb movie overall.. Well deserving of its Oscar Nominations. Little Jude Hill ive no doubt will be one to watch for the future, but the acting overall was impressive. I did think a couple of scenes were a bit suspect like the Grandpa getting buried in the middle of a field!!! The singing at he end was overplayed and Catholic and Protestants kids were segregated in the school system at the time so Buddys first love interest would not have been in his school. But all that said a very enjoyable funny and heartwarming movie and well worth a watch
