Full Plot Details

Pete, an eight-year-old Catholic boy growing up in the suburbs of Chicago in the mid-1970s, attends Catholic school, where as classes let out for the summer, he's admonished by a nun to follow the path of the Lord, and not that of the Devil. Perhaps taking this message a bit too seriously, Pete decides it's his goal for the summer to help someone get into heaven; having been told that Catholicism is the only sure path to the kingdom of the Lord, Pete decides to convert a Jew to Catholicism in order to improve their standing in the afterlife. Hoping to find a likely candidate, Pete begins visiting a nearby synagogue, where he gets to know Rabbi Jacobson, who responds to Pete's barrage of questions with good humor. Pete also makes friends with the Rabbi's son, Danny, who is about the same age; when he learns that Danny is seriously ill, he decides Danny would be an excellent choice for conversion. When the priest at Pete's church informs Pete that all will be tested before they pass the Pearly Gates, he sets up a mini-decathlon and puts Danny in training as he attempts to reshape his spiritual thinking. Pete's parents aren't sure just what to make of Pete's new summer project, and as they become acquainted with Rabbi Jacobson, they share their perspectives on the unexpected trials of parenting.

Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Erik ChildressPete's screenplay manages to find that real natural, even-flowing tone that few movies are able to accomplish.
Matinee Magazine - 9/10 by Jason ClarkThe best you can say about it is it's so uninspired, it barely gives one pause when considering some of the other dreck out there right now.
Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Tom MaurstadNearly all the fundamentals you take for granted in most films are mishandled here.
L.A. Weekly - 9/10 by Manohla DargisA promotional gimmick that's being slipped into theaters with the sort of stealth accorded only the unprofitable or the unwatchable.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertA delightful surprise because despite all the backstage drama, this is a movie that tells stories that work -- is charming, is moving, is funny and looks professional.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Susan WalkerIf you ignore the stilted adult performances, Stolen Summer is a persuasive portrayal of boyhood friendship.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekContrived, maudlin and cliche-ridden...if this sappy script was the best the contest received, those rejected must have been astronomically bad.
Apollo Guide - 7/10 by Ryan CracknellThe young stars are too cute; the story and ensuing complications are too manipulative; the message is too blatant; the resolutions are too convenient.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Chris GoreThe story is enhanced by solid performances all around by Bonnie Hunt, Aidan Quinn and Kevin Pollack.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Desson ThomsonThe performances take the movie to a higher level.
