It's sweet, it's touching, it's occasionally pretty corny -- but I've got a soft spot for this one all the same.

A feel good movie about a teenager who cares deeply about another person and, in the process, experiences the renewal of her mind and spirit.

One of the best family films of the 80s. Lucy Deakins and Jay Underwood are delightful. A film you'll cherish forever.
