The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry

When Mr.

Sperry challenges the boys to form a chain stretching from a tree to a $5 bill he places on a picnic table (at around 1h), shots from behind the boys show half the table in sunlight, while the reverse shots (which had to be shot on a different day) show the table completely in shadows.

A bit sweet but filling.This is a faith based film that is set in 1970.

This is my first review on IMDb. I've seen most of the mainstream, popular movies for the last two decades.

Heart-warming and funny. A golden nugget and light-spirited.

And dripping with, drenched in, and hopelessly mired in Protestantism. I didn't make it more than 45 minutes into the film, though the graveyard scene had 'cult!

When this movie was released, the radio ads I heard led me to believe it was a 19th century mystery with Christian overtones. In reality, it was like the picture of your favorite DJ, who looks nothing like you envisioned him.

Just watched this film with my sister and her kids. Although there are some interesting moments and for the most part the acting is good.

Words can't express ... let's just say "Kirk Cameron loved it!

This is a truly remarkable story! I highly recommend it to people who enjoy family movies.

This is the Christiano brothers' best film (thus far), a lovely coming-of-age story about several youths in a sleepy upstate New York town circa 1970. In some ways it seems like the '50s, and the boys' shorts are definitely post-1985 length, but these are minor quibbles.
