During the Great Depression a young boy, who is practically an orphan, tries to fend for himself. His mother is ill and his father is rarely around. Steven Soderbergh's drama is based on the memoir of A.E. Hotchner. The film offers laughs and cries, but there isn't anything to make it stand out from other similar stories.
