I love the book and think the four young men in the principle roles did an outstanding job. Toby Moore truly shines as Finny. I hope we are going to see a lot more of this actor. Wendy Kesselman also did a great job on the script, with one exception. She confirmed that Gene purposefully knocked Finny out of the tree, where the book, leaves that determination to the reader. The scene with Leper and Gene in the woods, after Leper deserted, is worth making this movie a "must see" by itself. Peter Yates can chalk this one up to another directing success. This is a far superior production than the previous, 1972 version, and I think a movie everyone should see.
