Oh, shoot! Yes! I am a totally bad Mod! I forgot this. Imagine that. I lvoe this movie and I forgot. Shoot!

I hated his father, but at the same time I can understand him. Homer's enthusiastic views on life is just amazing. It's so amazing that this is based on a true story. People should watch this to get all those pessimistic stuff shoved away.

Sharon It depends on where are you going to resize your picture. if you have uploaded it on Photobucket, then you can resize it there. But if not, photoshop, acdsee or other picture programs can resize that.

Yes, we need more insights about Homer and how he inspired us when he believed on his rocket.

What I really liked about this movie was the way it made you feel like you could do anything if you believed in it. Homer and his friends ran into obstacles, but because they were passionate about their rockets, they were able to accomplish great things. Things that were unheard of in their town.

Jake was convincing and wonderful in this movie. His wide-eyed innocence made me adore Homer and believe in him 100%.

It's amazing that Jake was so talented at such a young age. A person couldn't watch this movie without seeing that Jake would be very successful in years to come.

Yeah, I agree. It was so inspiring. It teaches us that in every lil things that we do, we can reach our dreams. Our passion will take us there, just like Homer. He never stopped believing. I was so moved when he went to mining because his dad got sick and all. And he brought his book and papers there and still study.

His innocent expressions made him so believable. When he's excited about the rockets, you'd see it in his eyes. If he's sad and hurt, you'd see it, too.

It is some sort of a premonition, yes. Even justa teenager he knew what he is doing and I'm glad I discovered Jake.

Oh, that was a good one.

I want the scene when he told his dad that (I forgot the scientist's name) wasn't his hero. Aw, it's so great!

I liked alot of the scenes with his father in this movie. Sometimes they were hard to watch because his father was hard on him, but I think it's just because he didn't want Homer to screw up his life. Mining was all he knew, so for his son to consider something else or have different dreams was almost impossible for his dad to swallow. But in the end his dad was one of his biggest supporters!

I loved this movie. The first time I saw it...I was kinda hypnotized by it. I loved HOmer and his friends and the girl Valentine who liked Homer and he just coudln't figure it out. And I love his scenes with his mom and dad. And I'm rambling.

Jake...in denim! He had practise before BBM!

His father always wanted to be on the safe side. What he doesn't know, he thinks will not be good for his sons. He's the kind of guy who's afraid of risks.

Jenn That's what I thought, too. When I saw that denim shirt.
