Who wouldn't want a friend who would run several miles to save your life? To arbitrarily say it was terrible shows the lack of appreciation one has for deep and caring friendships. This movie is not meant to be a lesson to teens but rather celebrates what two people can accomplish together. Jody is inspiring and exciting and Beth brings common sense and a desire for adventure into the story. The actors, Anna Chlumsky (Jody) and Christina Ricci (Beth) gave top-notch performances although the script caused them  to struggle in some places. The photography was splendid in the breathtaking backcountry of the Pacific Northwest and the director's use of birds's eye views puts the viewer even more into the adventure. I laughed, I teared abit, but mostly I felt incredible pride for the characters and warmhearted inside. This movie is incredible. Join Beth and Jody on their journey and you will be swept away into the adventure too.
