The War Summary A Vietnam Veteran Teaches His Son And Daughter What Is Worth Fighting For In 1970 Mississippi. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/15/2011 Starring: Elijah Wood Lexi Randall Run Time: 127 Minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Jon Avnet

Kevin Costner is the big name here, but the film belongs squarely to Elijah Wood, who plays his son. The film deals with the children of a Vietnam veteran in 1970 Mississippi; as their dad (Costner) tries to cope with posttraumatic stress disorder after serving in the war, the kids build a mammoth tree house in the woods--then must defend it against the local white-trash bullies. The film includes a particularly harrowing contest involving a swim across the reservoir of a decrepit water tower; still, director Jon Avnet can't avoid a certain "can't we all just get along" didactic message. That doesn't put a damper on the youthfully natural quality of the child actors, and Costner is actually quite winning as a sensitive, troubled soul. --Marshall Fine
