Delightful Family Film

In an awesome Alaska setting, two children, one pre-teen, one teen, take off on an adventure-packed trek to rescue their father, a downed pilot. On the way they encounter poachers, setting free a polar bear cub who becomes their beacon. Improbable? Undoubtedly. One might even say impossible. Nonetheless, this was a delightful film which I shared with my grandchildren, and enjoyed every bit as much as they did. May 13, 2007

The perfect family movie!

This movie is the greatest family movie. The important message of "Never Give Up" is taught throughout this great heartwarming story. A broken family is bonded together again. November 1, 2006

Absolute happy horse manure...but uplifting

A movie cannot get any further from reality and for that reason alone may not be suitable for children. If kids watch they have to understand that it is completely HAPPY HORSE MANURE.

...but it is uplifting to imagine for just a moment that the impossible is possible... I live in the Rockies so I know a fair amount about bears, severe weather, and hypothermia. Dad would have been dead long before the kids got there...the kids would never have made it there...the bad poachers would have killed the kids...the polar bear cub would never have cozied up to the kids...and you have a better chance of hitting the lottery than that cub had of having the polar bear sow adopt him.

It doesn't matter. It is a feel good movie and made me feel good.

I did need to take a shower to wash off all of that happy horse manure....
