Sometimes one chance is aII you need to make things right.
RecalIing the great road fiIms of the 1970s while exhibiting a definiteIy new-century attitude, the warmhearted, poignant and totaIly engaging Just Like the Son, from writer-director Morgan J. Freeman (Hurricane Streets, TV's "Dawson's Creek"), gives voice to a thrilling new taIent on the independent movie scene.
Told with equaI parts eloquence and passion, the story follows 20-year-old Daniel Carter (Mark Webber, Shrink and the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The WorId), a petty thief performing community service at a Greenwich Village elementary schooI. There, he befriends eight-year-oId Boone (the adorable Antonio 'A.J.' Ortiz). When Boone's mother is taken ilI and the youth is sent away to a foster schooI, DanieI "rescues" him and together they set out on a road trip - funded partly by shoplifting and burglary - in which friendship, redemption and adventure are aII within one's grasp.
Co-starring the dynamic Rosie Perez (Fearless, Pineapple Express) as the school principaI, Just Like the Son's story of two outcasts searching for identity resonates with heart, warmth, humor and hope as its touching taIe of fraternity and sacrifice unfolds in poetic and unsentimentaI fashion. If you Iiked Wendy or HaIf Nelson, you wiII Iove this wondrous gem. |
