Debut feature film from American Matthew Allen, a resident of Sweden. Hence this is a Swedish/American co-production.
A juvenile teenage boy lacking parents is put up by his distant relatives to avoid being put in prison after shooting his brother in the foot in a freak accident. But the family he is to stay with is under the rule of a life coach. The coach's approach is "Look hard at what you want, and then grab it". Will this have an affect on the young rascal?
Somehow this film manges to grab your interest right from the start. Evan Ellington in the role as young Roy manages to grab the opportunity in the role, and the positive thinking gets to him in this realistically told comedy, which has a feel-good feel, still with a sad thread all way through.. The film is beautifully photographed, and well played. This is no laugh-out-loud comedy, but rather a small gem of a film. It manges to put that little corner smile on your mouth, as it's also heart felt all way through.
The film is both uplifting and warm, and one of those little film which will linger in your life afterwards. So you see, this is a recommendation. Make sure you see it!
