... View MoreI read the first review and I must admit-- at first, I had a feeling about expecting a somewhat "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" sort of vibe but, boy oh boy I was wrong. This looks and sounds much better than I expected. The movie itself speaks to me in many levels, bringing me back to my youthful years, and making me feel like I wish I had that much creativity unleashed. What a wonderful, creative and interesting way to portray a wonderful, heart-warming story. Not to mention, I didn't even see it coming-- the sixth sense reference. I read the blurb/pitch/short-description of the movie and I was ecstatic to find out in the end that "Leo" was actually the younger brother who died. A very interesting closure for a wonderful movie. Although, I wish I could have seen a bit more of connection between the Rafe's teacher and his mom. Then again, I think this one was already enough.kudos to the makers of this movie! hoping to see more like these in the future.

Club and when he said that, Jeanne ( Isabela Moner, 14 ) said "Oh sh-- " and it was cut off. It was also funny with the cartoon like characters in the movie.
... View MoreAmazing movie. Great soundtrack, jokes and staging. This movie would be great by itself but living up to a book that it doesn't follow the backstory of is what lets it down.Leo, Rafes brother, was Rafes twin and died when they were born. Georgia was adopted after Leo had passed. Georgia has blond hair and a hip deformation. They neglected other parts of not only the title book but "My brother is a big fat liar" as well.Still a great movie regardless but it was really a let down.
