   In the early 90s, there was a never-ending onslaught of films (most of them for children) that taught to forsake the opinions of others and seek the satisfaction that comes from within. They each hold their own merits (although, they may have held a collective danger) and, in many ways, find their precedent in this film. Is that spoiling too much? The ending is what people remember and with good reason: It's powerful and joyful and worthy of applause. The journey leading up to it is drenched in authenticity, making everyone all the more likable. Direction's solid (editing's a ton of fun), the swimming and showering sequences suggesting an epic and fraternal journey. Recommended. 8 years 9 months ago
