Lost & Found

3/13/2017

It's hard to discern exactly who this film is intended for. On the surface it's an adventure story about two young brothers who search for their grandfather's hidden treasure on the family island. At the heart though, it's a family drama about two older brothers finding their way back to each other after life has ripped them apart. Trying to walk the line between both genres, this film does neither particularly well. The kids watching for the adventure storyline will find the plot forced, with all clues and elements conveniently and sloppily revealed at the right moment. If you make your child watch this, expect him to be bored in the first fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, the adults watching this for the family story (elderly, I'm assuming) will find that it never quite goes beyond melodrama,

It's rare to find a family film that will keep both parents and preteen/teen boys interested. This one hits the mark. Starring the talented Cary Elwes (Westley from The Princess Bride), it's the story of two boys who are searching for the family fortune. However, the boys will find what they weren't looking for along the way. Highly recommended.
