Stolen Summer Movie Synopsis
While most boys their age spend their summers playing baseball and hanging out at the pool, Pete O'Malley (Stein) and Danny Jacobsen (Weinberg) are two boys out to change the world. After being warned by his Catholic school teacher to clean up his act or face divine wrath, eight-year-old Pete is determined to guarantee his entry into heaven by performing good deeds in his Chicago community. He meets and enlists in his mission Danny, a seven-year-old Jewish boy. During one unforgettable summer, Pete and Danny embark on an adventure that will teach them, and everyone around them, about the true meaning of hope and friendship.
Excellant movie. Good for all ages. Crosses religious boundries with thought provoking self reflection.
I saw this movie by chance when it was aleady half over. I taped it and watched with my wife and we both thought it was quite good. I will tell my friends to watch it. ( Toronto Canada )
The story was strong and tender and quite true to life (or the way we would prefer families to be). The actors were outstanding and played their characters in the moment. I will be recommending this movie to my friends and family.
