Solid production value sporting a straight from the hip story with a side of transmigration. Think After School Special with a New Age instead of Christian flavor.
A disadvantaged 10 year old guitar prodigy falls in with the members of a band that broke up with the death of their frontman a decade ago. A terminally ill junkie mother, a band manager convinced he is her reincarnated brother, musical mentor, Chim Chim doodles, and a $3000 custom guitar all collide in the complicated 5th grade life of young Oak Scoggins. After a bit of a roller coaster ride and some sleight of hand the sun breaks from behind the clouds for a warm fuzzy finish. Good wholesome movie in 50's Disney form the whole family can enjoy. Recommended.
