JJ's life has been miserable ever since his ill mother had to give him up. The only two good things he has are his best friend Sophia and his wonderful talent for music. Determined to know what happened to his mom, the young man escapes from his foster mother, a woman who encourages her charges to steal and bully. Following his memories, he takes shelter in Central Park. JJ becomes the new protégé of the Guardian, a homeless eccentric and self-appointed King of Central Park who promises to protect the boy and offers him the companionship of a dog called Mutt in exchange for food. Also, JJ's path crosses with Rebecca Cairn, another eccentric who lives in a brownstone overlooking the park. She takes particular interest in him, as does her estranged husband Noah Cairn who is always rescuing Rebecca when she grows depressed. JJ tries to shake off the help of these characters, thinking that his life would be better on his own. However, JJ's foster mother is looking for him, making his search for his mother dangerous. His growing relationship with the Carin's teaches him the truths about loss and letting go.
Leave your thoughts about Prince of Central Park.
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanAwkwardly plotted drama about a runaway child in Central Park. |
| TV Guide MagazineAllie CahillHas the dubious appeal of a preachy "Afterschool Special." |
| The New York TimesDave KehrRemains a sadly earthbound thing, mired in a dismal realism that lies far from its natural environment. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonA stinky dumpster for sentimental dung about homelessness and the magical mecca that isn't Manhattan. |
| User ReviewDaneve MIt was one of my first movies I saw with my belated mother!! I loved the movie. |
| User ReviewJames H5.5/10. Not too bad. Somewhat inspiring. The characters are just too extreme for it to completely work, but it has some fine scenes. Melodramatic and it goes in too many directions that detract from the film. |
| User ReviewJane HOne of those films I just happened to come across on sky. It isn't bad and there are some good moments but it is also sort of stupid and exaggerated too. Generally just ok. |
| User ReviewSteveN.After School Special. If that's what you're looking for, this is your movie. |
