not for everyone -- semi sweet semi sad, some brilliant elements... and it all ends gloriously! Great job. Great story. Reminded me -- there is life, after life.
(And altho' you can't take the "things" of this world with you – You can take the person next to you by helping them find life, after life. That's what Billy Kirkfield learns – you can take the person sitting next to you – a son, a daughter, a sister, brother – a friend, by pouring our "spirit" – our lives, into another – we can take them with us on the journey beyond this life).
Christopher Lloyd who plays a caretaker in the movie is EXCELLENT – and talks to the heroes - - 3 fifth grade boys intent on setting a world record. And he asks them how this setting a record, makes other people happy? He tells the boys of attending a lot of funerals and that when people talk about living a good life its not so much what we do or did that matters as to how we did it. That being a good person may be a purpose all in itself. Being a friend – even to someone who doesn't want to be friends.
Isn't that after all what the greatest teacher of all modeled? Highly recommend. Great film.
