misleading poster


there are two posters of the film, as far as I'm aware, the one with the Patrik sucking on the pacifier and a second, very misleading one, where Patrik looks more like he's gonna be a stoner, more than a troubled orphan. In my opinion, the movie got away too easily with how Patrik deals with adults and after a few scenes, he's already okay to be at a different house with two homosexuals, one of them verbally abusive. someone else has complained the movie being unrealistic and this was the only thing I had trouble believing but I also understand that the story required that aspect of the adoption to not be a problem so much, that's why Patrik finds his place through gardening and that's all very good, it's just that I don't think a 15 year old orphan who's been tumbling around for 10 years would be as easy to handle as it is portrayed in the film.

I loved it, by the way.

I forgot to mention how in the poster that's posted on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrik,_Age_1.5), which is the one I'm referring to as misleading, Patrik has an expression that isn't seen in the movie, not once.
