One reason and one reason only that kid was hired


He could turn on the waterworks like a golf course sprinkler.

Were there two kids? How did they get film of his baby years? It was not a different kid? Sibling of the actor?

reply

That effect caught me too. IMDB does not have an alternate actor listed for him as younger or anything in the trivia section so it must have been him. My guess is they used computer reverse aging tricks.

It was a good effect whatever it was.

At least the boy was smart, most other kids would keep quiet about strange adults kidnapping them and masquerading as their parents, but he came right out and told the truth in front of the authorities.

reply

Yes, that was good and hopefully a PSA for some kids in the future who might find themselves in that situation(being abducted but within screaming distance of adults).

I have just watched this so late to the comments but he was not smart. He could only scream and yell in the back seat of the car while his mother was dragged after what felt like forever from the back seat. Why couldn't he undo his seat belt and get out of the car if he was so smart?

…and his effeminate hair helped as well
