Nothing original here. "The Deep End of the Ocean" is a better film.
shareIts because the little brother(Jonathan) "loves old movies". The mother was telling the lost boy(Mitchell) about this during there conversation right before he met the rest of the family. So that is what's up with that. Good question,I most certainly was asking myself the same question.
shareYou are only 30 minutes into the movie when you posted this. Give it a chance to be something different.
This isn't a remake at all. Sure they both have the same basic idea of what happens when a missing child returns home but that is just a basic outline.
Deep End of the Ocean (which was based on a book) was a drama. The Lost Boy is a suspense movie where we are wondering if this kid has sinister intentions or not.
His post was in April!!
shareWhen I read the movie's description, I thought it might be a remake of "I Know My First Name Is Steven" which was a devastating mini-series from the true story of Steven Stayner. Stayner died in a motorcycle accident shortly after it aired. And then his older brother turned out to be the Yosemite Park murderer.
shareThat's what I thought of as well but this movie was definitely different.
And OMG, I had no idea about Steven's older brother, I have to go Google that now.
