Rating: Summary: Concise and charming story, superb cast Review: Was I frozen in 1992 when this was released?The storyline, if a teeny bit predictable in certain (satisfying) ways, is so well edited that the suspense and surprises last for the whole film, and it requires a second view at least to catch all the links and touches. No slouches in this production. The boy Nat is utterly real, in fact both the kid-discoverers are right on and very funny. Jamie Lee Curtis is magnificent. Mel is as good as he gets, especially in the treehouse-pilot scene, when we learn a new version of 'special effects'. I've absorbed many a fight scene (yawn) in a few years of movies, but Mel defeating the Jerk in the early scenes made me sit up and say, "Rewind that! Let me see him do THAT again!" And there are plenty of other delightful moments in this. I've bought 2 copies of it to send to friends, just tonight. A good idea is for the 10 year old kid to watch it with his grandparents. But it's for everybody....Hannah
