Title: Positive message, but...
Review: I would like to make it clear that I approve of this film's message. Children should be encouraged, or at least allowed, to express themselves in unconventional ways. I agree with Robert Bly's observation that those parts of ourselves that we suppress by "putting them in a bag" will become more primitive and dangerous. If we don't allow the boy to wear a dress when he's eight, he might grow up to become the "Buffalo Bill" character in "Silence of the Lambs."Unfortunately, the other characters, almost without exception, embody the crassest stereotypes. Especially galling is the character of the boy's mother, who on at least three occasions, is shown ordering or eating enormous amounts of food, and at one point, actually has a heart attack. It would have been far more interesting had Joey Lauren Adams played the boy's mother, with Gary Sinise abandoning her for the other actress. But that would have required real unconventional thinking.
