Featured review
Small movie, young boy wants to help save his mother.
Our society has become so negative. Just read a few of the reviews that knock this movie, many of them don't actually say anything they just want to prevent others from seeing it. Why? That is so non-productive.
It is a simple story but focuses on a mythical figure, a man who apparently survived a devastating flood, and it is believed a mineral he found in a mine allows him to live forever. They call him the Water Man. The boy hopes that if he finds him then he can help cure his sick mom. So he, and a new friend, a teenage girl, trek off into the Oregon wilderness to find the Water Man.
My wife and I enjoyed it at home on DVD from our public library. While it won't ever be considered a "don't miss" movie it certainly has enough good qualities that it is entertaining.
