New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Awkwardly plotted drama about a runaway child in Central Park.

TV Guide Allie Cahill

Has the dubious appeal of a preachy "Afterschool Special."

The New York Times Dave Kehr

Remains a sadly earthbound thing, mired in a dismal realism that lies far from its natural environment.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Elaborate vanity production.

Village Voice Michael Atkinson

A stinky dumpster for sentimental dung about homelessness and the magical mecca that isn't Manhattan.

The average user rating for this movie is 7.5 (out of 10) based on 7 User Votes

This really love the song that he plays for the lady I really fell in love with him. Plus he is really cute!

Peter N. gave it a 7:
Fun movie, but even I (not ever a New Yorker) can see the folly of this cutsie approach to living in New York.

Dennis W. gave it a 7:
What a bunch of negative pricks the critics are. this is a decent movie. dont listen to these prick's menial opinions, thats all they are, menial opinions. note how they gave such crap like AI and E.T. absurdly high scores. never underestimate the idiocy or wretched taste of a "professional" movie critic.

Julie gave it a 5:
Cute, touching, a little too unreal, but it was cute.

Cherika F. gave it a 10:
This movie is hot, especially Frank Nasso. He has some good acting skills.
