Aileen D @RT17276951 Jul 27 A very sweet film. I can believe such a child, almost completely self-sufficient, can exist in NYC. The critics can be too sophisticated for their own good. People crave movies that have a good, clear plot without the special effects, the car chase, the gimmicks, etc., but a story that shows how two people, so dissimilar, can connect in a most basic, tender way with music being the connection. Loved it! See more Ray S. @305moviegoer 07/23/2025 Beautiful moved, didn’t want it to end. See more Diane T @RT04284181 03/22/2025 I really liked this film. Sadly, New Yorkers and critics sure live up to their reputation for being so crassly opinionated. It was gentle and yes, sentimental. Nothing wrong with that. The acting of the two main characters was excellent and believable. We cared about these two characters who were brought together for a brief time, each coming away with just what they needed at this point in their lives. Some might say it's a 'God thing' which no doubt would be an appalling perspective to the chic urban viewers who'd rather celebrate more harsh and worldly films. Great job Frank Whaley!

See more 01/03/2021 A touching coming of age story about a 12-year old boy and a twenty-something girl, both of whom are neglected by noisy but otherwise dissimilar mothers. Set in the beloved fairytale version of NYC, the pair are brought together when she needs a job and he needs a nanny. Leighton Meester again shows what a fine actress she is, while Debra Messing's edgy versatility is on display, and Julian Shatkin, as the boy, is natural and a pleasure to watch. Frank Whaley again shows that he has an innate sense of humanity. A touching film, this was perfect for a rainy January afternoon. See more 10/04/2020 Touching beyond words. These two lost kids find each other, with an age gap that doesn't allow them to be closer, though their hearts are clearly endeared to one another. You get to see a girl treated absolutely beautifully by a child who is going to grow up to be an amazing man. They share so much, understand each other's pain so well, that it really doesn't need much discussion. I'm just sorry they could not find a way to remain friends. They should have done so, but I think probably their feelings for each other had no proper place to go -- she couldn't be his Mother, he couldn't be her peer, not really, and as much as they were clearly best friends, and almost blood-brothers, the need to love and be loved was so great in each of them that the closeness and understanding was only going to lead to words of love from him -- his first love --- and a horror from her, not wanting to hurt him, not wanting to lose him, but certainly not wanting to encourage his feelings, or worse, give in, and do something terribly, terribly wrong (though she just barely skirted it). I could not help but love these unloved, ignored, brilliantly gifted kids, who were both just aching to find the place where they were wanted and loved. Wonderful acting, all the way around.
