"A Karate Kid rip-off, with manic episodes sprinkled in. If I had stumbled upon this when I was a kid I probably would have rented it many times."

"His work in IT show Jonathan Brandis deserved better roles than he got afterwards. I mean like Ladybugs."
Jim Woehr
"Fun movie with Chuck Norris and a asthmatic boy who daydreams. Very much like Karate Kid.
“The dream world is where the child lives. Without it, growing older would not mean growing wiser.""
