This is in some ways a sweet movie about love between a father and son, between a boy and a girl. Yes it's predictable, yes some weak spots, but Matt Dillon is good; Ryan Potter is charming. Even more effective, the theme of prejudice born of hate and ignorance is explored, especially important in the worldwide intensifying again of vicious racism. I loved how the house becomes something wonderful at the end, a major symbol for the story.
