Take away the Spielberg name and this isn't a film that wins any awards or gets pumped up ratings.

Very disappointed in this, much too long with little of interest and nothing new to show on topics that you have seen portrayed hundreds of times already.

A Jewish kid who likes movies and starts making them with his allowances on weekends for boy scouts. Rich and talented parents who are a little off but completely supportive of their many children.

Pretty standard marital difficulties. No real struggles, just a couple average everyday struggles.

Skip ahead a more than an hour and we're finally onto..... high school. Standard bullying except religious bullying because it's the 60s. Artsey highschool kid bad at sports does not fit in with the sports kids, uses his artsey talents to better his life.

Cut 45 minutes from the first hour and this all could have been done in less than an hour and a half, and would have been a better movie for it.
