A boy in New York is taken in by a wealthy Upper East Side family after his mother is killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I went to see this despite all the negative reviews and I'm glad I did. I really loved it. I thought that the telling of the story in flashbacks really reinforced the notion in the book about how a persons life can be defined by a single event. The pace is very slow and I can understand how some people may not like it but I was totally immersed for the two and a half hours. The child actors were especially impressive.

I finally watched this last night. I loved the book and was curious how on earth they would handle making a movie out of such a story...
I think it was really well done. using flashbacks to fill in the story worked really well for me. although I would have loved to see a cast of lesser known actors I did think the casting worked really well for the most part. I LOVED!!! Finn Wolfhart as Boris!
definitely worth the 2.5 hours.
