fred savage is awesome in this movie


fred's acting in this movie is some of the best acting i've seen overall, adult or child. he's okay in other movies he's in i guess (not a big fan really) but he is really good in this one.

I agree.

He is tremendous in this drama.

Agreed. I'm not much of a fan of him, either, but he was great in this film and in "The Wonder Years."

I agree. This movie is some of his best work. I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but I always cried when he ran outside in the rain and was digging through the mud to get his action figures back.

yeah man that was sad as hell, and it sucks that the girl couldnt be with the kid that could fly, man this is on right now and just ended its a sad film, but it teaches you to never give up and if you believe hard enough anything is possible

and it has fred savage at his finest, well besides wonder years that is and little monsters and vice versa

I thought he was good in the Boy who could fly. And I thought Fred Savage was great in the Wonder Years as well. But I think he's best performance would still have to be in When you Remember Me.
