Sure, this was fun to watch… and filmed really well – they did give you a real sense of what this kid’s life was like… But the plot felt a bit forced – I didn’t really get the main premise of the plot. Why would the TV show people care if this kid won the prize? Heck, it makes a great story, and would do wonders for the ratings. They should have played it up. Actually, that might have made the movie even more interesting, as the kid would gradually be in a position of power over all those who had taken advantage of him earlier in his life. How would he use this power? Anyway, even considering this, it was a fun movie.
