Joaquin Phoenix as a little boy


OMG! It doesn't even look like him. I mean you have to look really close and then him on flying the rocket was halarious and Ralphie from the christmas story is in it. such a cute film.


Somebody's got to lead this revolution and I guess it's gonna be me.

i think he looks adorable!! it was just on BBC 1 in the UK today. yeah the flying rocket was funny :-D

he really does look so sweet though, but his hair and everything is much lighter in this film now hes got really dark hair and eyebrows. i think it still looks like him though!

I saw this film when it first came out in the theatres, (encouraged to do so from a favorable review in the L.A. Times). The review mentioned the excellent acting of a certain Leaf Pheonix, and predicted that this young man had great potential, and to be on a lookout for him in the future.

Insightful reviewer, huh?

i;m watching it now on drive in classics, its a crazy 80s movie with that kid from that christmas story movie as well now he looks NOTHING like what he looked like as a kid. he was 12 when he did the christmas story, Peter Billingsley. crazy


reply

Yes I thought that too, it also took me a while to realise it was it was him

Wow, I was trying to remember when I first saw this film and then I saw your comment, xXxHannahxXx. I definitely saw this on Christmas Eve, 2004. Sorry, mind blown.
