The movie was very good and useful for the seminar I was leading about emotional healing.

5/5 A family favorite
  by Alan Holyoak (In the shadow of the Tetons)
This is a film that appeals to both children and adults.

Bruce Willis steps out of his action adventure rut to play a self-centered, high-powered image consultant who believes he is having a nervous breakdown when his 8-year old younger self appears, literally on his doorstep. Together they explore their past and try to figure out what they have to do to set things right.

Willis and Spencer Breslin do a great job of playing the older and younger Russ, but Lily Tomlin, who plays Willis' unruffled secretary, is the hit of the show! Emily Mortimer turns in a strong performance as Willis' assistant/conscience, and Jean Smart fills the important role of the sounding board and wake-up call for Willis.

This film is filled with lots of favorite quotes in our family...e.g.,"Forty, that...is...old." "Holy smokes, 99 channels and there's nothing on." "I knew it! I grow up to be a guy that doesn't know ANYTHING!" "Chester...the world's greatest dog" and "Somebody better call the waaaaaaaaambulance."

Some people might say that this movie is too sappy, too "Disney", but I think it's a great tale and we enjoy watching it at least a few times a year...and that's saying something with kids at our house from 10-19 yrs of age.

If you haven't watched this show I recommend that you give it a shot.

5 stars for fun family entertainment!

A nice little break from reality. Lily Tomlin at her best. The kid and Bruce aren't so bad either.

4/5 Very Funny

I really like this movie. Bruce Willis does a wonderful job as a real jerk who changes over the course of the movie, as he figures out what has made him the way he is buy reliving his childhood. Very funny.
