    The best story here is the one about how Stolen Summer made it to the screen; that's more compelling than anything that happens in Pete's world.

    You leave Stolen Summer with the feeling that you have watched acrobats stumble on a tightrope with no net below. Not a great show, but at least nobody got badly hurt.

    Just slides off the screen and disappears.

    Summer is like an episode of the religious children's series "Davey and Goliath," without the entertainment value of animation and a talking dog.

    A promotional gimmick that's being slipped into theaters with the sort of stealth accorded only the unprofitable or the unwatchable.

    Made with no discernible craft and monstrously sanctimonious in dealing with childhood loss, it might as well be called "Pray It Forward."

    How feeble a movie is Stolen Summer? So feeble they've just about buried the title on the film's own poster.
