I've heard from several parents who just knowing what it's about have decided not to go. I've heard from others who enjoyed it and their kids it enjoyed it as well. I haven't heard directly from anyone whose children had negative reactions. I've heard reports of that, but nothing from the parents themselves.<br /> <br /> My family fits into the "enjoyed" it category. The adoption them went right over the head of my 6 year old. My 8 year old enjoyed it as well. If either of them were to have a reaction, I'd have expected it to be him. Certainly everyone’s entitled to their opinion.

I didn't see how it was completely offensive... It's a movie aimed and children, so you really can't show the REALITIES, and no movie will satisfy everyone.<br /> <br /> (Plus, if he had contacted his birth mother in the past, that might have messed up the space-time continuum more, but in the future though, that's a different story)<br /> I get more frustrated with some of these articles in newspapers I've seen. But, everyone has a different interpretation when it comes to things.

That's sweet! I saw that movie yesterday and thought the lead character was so COOL! He knew about machines and stuff. My review of it can be read on the adoption forum.<br /> I think it's somewhere on the Russian forum but i posted it so many places, I don't remember all of them. I thought it was a delightful movie and I loved the huge train and the dinosaur and mini bowler hat. Aw. That’s sweet! I saw that movie yesterday and thought the lead character was so COOL!
