Gilbert's life, his future, is thwarted he know this, but it is in this Guardian Angel that his love and bond for Arnie cannot, and will not, be let go. That is until the free spirit of Becky arrives in town, and with her grandmother are stranded for the week while waiting for parts for their vehicle.

It's worth the space on your dvd collection. I'm trying to find a copy myself. I already have the movie tie-in book.

Arnie was absolutely wonderful. Leo did a really really fantastic performance. I adored it so much. He just was the sweetest sweetheart ever

And you'd want to just take him into your arms and take care of him. I love how his innocence had also helped put the family together. I gotta watch it again soon.

I agree. He deserved that Oscars. It's the first movie that made me a Leo fan.

Yeah, you really do just wanna take care of him when you see him. And the way he forgave his brother after he'd hurt him....

Gal, that's gorgeous! Hopefully Gay (or one of the mods) will add it to the first post.

This is a great movie. I think Leo should have gotten the Oscar for this if for anything. He was absolutely amazing! He totally nailed that role, I know people who didn't know Leo and actually thought he was mentally challenged. Such a brilliant performance.

I'm also trying to find the movie on DVD to add it to my collection. We had this on tape but we taped over it, can you believe?

He played the role very well at such a young age. It says a lot with his talent.
