Russ - Yeah I pre-ordered it from Buy.com back in the day when they actually had bargains, coupons, free shipping, etc. What really struck a chord with me in the theatre was what a great story it was, although hard to believe but I liked all the characters a lot. The father/son story was just very touching, plus the mystery/suspense, blah blah blah. Overall a great movie and you gotta love the part where the young character told his best buddy "Yahoo" remember that. LOL.
The ending although sappy was excellent.
