Movie review
The director of Story With Me, Rob Reiner, repeats the dose: if in 1986 the narrator (Richard Dreyfuss) appeared only to open and close the story, now this function has gained more importance with Bruce Willis. Courage and innocence continue to determine the character of the main characters, the children, and the main theme is still the first contact with maturity. The story, however, is quite different: the great Elijoh Wood (The Evil Angel) is the North of the original title, a perfect boy who decides, in fairness, to find a better family – only because he needs to fake a suffocation to be noticed by his parents, who are always arguing. He then begins a pilgrimage around the world in search of special parents (Don Aykroyd, Kathy Botes, and Grahom Graene are among them), watched over by his, guardian angel (Willis doing different types) It’s not hard to guess the end point of North’s journey, but he gets there. After an intimate and entertaining adventure.
