Description
Here's the big screen motion picture that fan's of HBO's hit series PROJECT GREENLIGHT eagerly waited to see! From producers Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Chris Moore, STOLEN SUMMER is the touching story of a young Catholic boy, Peter O'Malley, who's on a quest to help a dying Jewish friend, Danny Jacobsen, get into heaven. On an unforgettable adventure marked by conflict and discovery, Pete and Danny will together learn the true meaning of hope and friendship! With Aidan Quinn (LEGENDS OF THE FALL) and Kevin Pollak (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) portraying the families' patriarchs, this critically acclaimed feature also stars Brian Dennehy (TOMMY BOY), Bonnie Hunt (THE GREEN MILE), and Eddie Kaye Thomas (AMERICAN PIE 1 & 2) in an outstanding all-star cast!
It's a great relief--and not just to the filmmakers--that Stolen Summer turned out so well. As winner of the first Project Greenlight contest, aspiring filmmaker Pete Jones was plucked from obscurity to direct his winning screenplay for this touching drama, in which young Catholic Pete O'Malley (Adi Stein) learns that there's more than one route to Heaven. During summer vacation 1976, this earnest second-grader learns from his fireman father (Aidan Quinn) that "Jews can't get into [Catholic] Heaven," and decides to earn his heavenly passage by attempting to convert the young son (Mike Weinberg) of a local rabbi (Kevin Pollak). Interfaith friendships develop, and the situation yields heartfelt humor in Jones's compassionate, tolerantly sentimental screenplay. Quinn, Pollak, and Bonnie Hunt (as Pete's mom) are exceptional in well-drawn roles, and for all his first-time jitters and penchant for pathos, Jones earns the opportunity that talent and good luck gave him: Stolen Summer is the kind of sweetly humanitarian film that Hollywood could use more of. --Jeff Shannon
