This movie was very interesting. It took a look at real problems that people are not aware of. Jeremy Sumpters acting was amazing. He is going to go far with his skills. Please go out and give this movie a chance. You have to be open minded. this movie is not like any other. Well... that prob. because they don't go out making films about teenage boys addicted to porn but you know that? That just show how much of a risk taker Jeremy Sumpter is. The ending when he is about to commit suicide you forget that this is peter pan and you believe that this is a boy with serious problem and need help. This is am amazing movie please support Jeremy and buy it rent it watch it when it comes on lifetime again. this movie is awesome.

Just a Dream
(2002 TV Movie)
Wonderful
9 July 2005
young boy finds himself struggling with his youthful innocence and the sins of adulthood. His father, (Robbie Benson), and his mother, (Ally Sheedy) have a relationship that is falling apart. Benson is the town doctor and apparently he has a few activities on the side that take him away from his family. In search of a father figure the young boy befriends an African American man who has a crush on Marilyn Monroe and a Native American bartender who offers up a bit of wise advice and hope every now and then. Both men teach the boy about life and the struggles of right and wrong. Another influence in the boy's life is a strong woman (Amy Madigan) who owns the bar that the boy works for. Surrounded by the arms of these unlikely friends the boy grows into a wise and happy soul. The writing is well done and most of the characters rich with meaning.
The best part of this film has to do with the fantasy as it revolves around Marilyn Monroe. The dreams of the characters seem somehow distant and unobtainable, just like those in reality, but when some dreams finally come true the scenes are absolutely touching. This film is a true sleeper, lost somehow in the shuffle but well worth its weight in gold. The story is inspirational in a softly portrayed way showing us that sometimes life is more than just another dream.
