ok guys,
this movie is especially tearjerking to me since i am john and joey's nephew...
but that is beside the point- i wanted to know if anyone had any other real
saddening movies for them, whether out of personal involvement (aka WWII vets
watching pearl harbor, etc.) or just because it's sad
Hey there to me being a penn state fan john is my hero . There is one out there that really gets to me and that is the champ with A young ricky schroeder . It is sought of the same lines as something for Joey . How do I get the copy of my book autographed by your uncle john
shareI had the pleasure of meeting John at SBS when he was signing books in 1998. A true class act!
sharesorry i dont do that kinda thing i had to swear to never...
sorry but u know how it is...
The first time I watched this film was a surreal experience...I watched the film in class with Mr. Cappiletti john and joey's real life father...He worked at our high school Monsignor Bonner, the same one that John attended and played football at. Me being a football player at the school myself was helped to realize that there are more important things than football in the world and one of them is family and friends.

I loved this film; it showed the ups and downs of such a tragic situation. Marc Singer did a great job and this is a fantastic film that is very underrated because sappy type of movies like that are frowned upon for some stupid reason. I love this film and cry every time I see it. A great life and a great message.
shareHow old was Joey when he died? Did he live to become a teenager? The movie was good but very sad.
shareJoey was 13 when he passed away. Ive loved this movie since i was a kid when it premiered on tv over 30 years ago. It's right up there with "Brian's Song" and "Untamed Heart".
