Seriously... I did not think it sucked that bad. While I do admit I was always a sucker for the adorable as a child Elijah Wood. Perhaps it is that innocent face and those amazing eyes that made me not hate this movie as bad as the above critics. While I did find the story very unique for it's time I did find pieces of it a bit pointless. You can't help but fall in love with the boy named North. You also cannot help but dislike his enemies and question the parents intentions. Some of it is extremely far fetched but I found much humor in this movie. Not to mention a star studded cast. I do not expect all to like this movie. I figure it was geared more to children than to parents. I did like the basic message that you find in this: The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.
North is an eleven year old boy. He gets great grades and is fantastic at baseball. While many of the parents wish their children could and would be more like North, North feels ignored and unappreciated by his own parents. He is fed up. He needs to get away and think. He heads to his special spot. His special spot is a nice comfy recliner in a store. While sitting there and thinking he meets "The Easter Bunny" who tells him it is not like a baseball team he can't just trade, he is stuck with the parents he has. This puts an idea into North's head.
North tells a friend he intends to tell his parents if they cannot give him the love and attention he seeks he will trade them in for new more deserving parents. He was only venting at the time but the friend encourages him to do so and prints it in the local school paper. North takes his parents to court where he is told he has to have parents by Labor Day or go to an orphanage. So he now has a goal of what kind of family he seeks and sets off to find them.
North will travel the world to find his dream parents. In his traveling he will find many of the things he desires. He will also find some people only want a child to better their own personal needs. Even when faced with a seemingly perfect family will North find what he is looking for? What is this hole he has? Will his parents try to convince him he should just come home? Will North find his family before noon on Labor Day?
Today in IMVU I will show you 2 of the goofs I was speaking of. I have a few more goofs I am putting final touches and colors on. As I stated I was working on a free companion ceremony set. This obviously includes a robe or conservative gown that shows little to no skin. In playing around for a look I liked that to me screamed I am being companions for the better of my city and or family. These were beautiful just not what I was looking for. So if you like these stay tuned.
