Michael's Movie Grade: C
A flawed but warm-hearted family film.
This movie is far from perfect, but it has such a good heart that it is hard to dislike it. This film has such good intentions, and you can tell that the filmmakers are completely sincere in everything they are saying (of course as someone who believes deeply in animal rights, I agree with most of what is being said here). This movie follows a 15-year-old girl, who runs away to help her childhood friend (who is a jaguar) make it to safety. Her teacher follows her the whole way to protect her from danger. The relationship between the girl and the jaguar is incredibly sweet and feels believable. While the way the relationship between the girl and the teacher grows and matures in a very believable way.
However, this movie does have more than its share of flaws. The storyline stretches well beyond the realm of believability, not all the actors are that good here and the humor falls flat.
Despite its flaws, this movie is so warm hearted and sincere that I find it hard not to like it.
