The Boy Who Could Fly by Warner Archive
DescriptionFred Savage (TV's “The Wonder Years”) and Bonnie Bedelia (“Presumed Innocent,” “Die Hard”) star in a heartwarming story about the special friendship between two teenagers struggling to adjust to life after each suffers a great loss. A splendid supporting cast — including TV heartthrob Jason Priestley (“Beverly Hills, 90210”), Emmy-winner Colleen Dewhurst (“Murphy Brown”), Fred Gwynne (“My Cousin Vinny”) and Academy Award-winner Louise Fletcher (“The Cheap Detective,” “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest”) — rounds out this story of belief in the impossible and in the magical. A wonderful film for the whole family. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Editorial ReviewSaddened by the untimely death of their father and husband, a family moves to a new town and confronts the usual–bullies, demanding new job–and the unusual: an autistic neighbor boy who believes he can fly. Bonnie Bedelia is the stressed-out mom, and Bedelia-look-alike Lucy Deakins plays the perceptive daughter who braves ridicule to reach out to the boy under the tutelage of wise teacher Colleen Dewhurst. This earnest film's melancholy is tempered by its fantastical ending and the fun of seeing a pre-Wonder Years Fred Savage as the soldier-obsessed little brother, not to mention one of the future denizens of Beverly Hills 90210 (Jason Priestley). Parents may wax nostalgic over early '80s fashions and may take delight in appearances by Mr. Munster (Fred Gwynne) as an alcoholic with self-knowledge, Facts of Life gal Mindy Cohn as a chatty neighbor, and Louise Fletcher playing a kindly psychologist. Slow pacing and heavy dollops of tragedy make this most appropriate for ages 8 and up. –Kimberly Heinrichs
