Full Plot Details

This is a gentle, innocent movie about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age eleven floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three eleven-year-old children, Bobby Garfield (Anton Yelchin), Carol Gerber (Mika Boorem), and John "Sully" Sullivan (Will Rothhaar), share their lives. Carol and Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss "by which all others will be measured." Bobby lives with his mother, Liz (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder, Ted Brautigan (Sir Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy, but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences, and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the "Low Men in Yellow Coats" who are seeking him. The two share a summer's adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully also changes everyone.

Movie Reviews

Palo Alto Weekly - 10/10 by Jeanne AufmuthIn the battle of style versus substance, it's style by a head.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertRarely does a movie make you feel so warm and so uneasy at the same time.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 9/10 by Rob Vaux...a lazy, unfocused, long summer afternoon of a film, full of good ideas that never get properly developed.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanAs I write this review, I find myself growing nostalgic for the film. I want to walk away from my computer and see it again right now. It's just that good.
SPLICEDWire - 8/10 by Rob Blackwelder(Has) that same energy and sentimental allure which has made Stephen King's softer side such a rich source for utterly engrossing cinema.
Cinerina - 8/10 by Karina MontgomeryI understand why the ads and even the publicity copy is so vague - how do you describe it? Go forth, and reward the studio for making this movie.
TheFilmFile.com - 8/10 by Dustin PutmanA lovingly crafted, nostalgia-filled walk through memory lane.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenA heartwarming coming-of-age pic that prompts its audience to recall the golden days of joyful youth.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Lisa AlspectorWhere other King stories and hundreds of other movies simplistically exploit the archetype, this tale intricately relates the actions of its young evildoer to the more abstract forces bearing down on the adults.
New Times (L.A.) - 8/10 by Robert WilonskyAs stirring as it is slight, as effective as it is familiar.
