The Way Home

E:
G had seen this years ago and wanted me to check it out, so I netflixed it. It's about a young boy from the city forced to spend some time with his grandma out in the country. He brings his gameboy and robot toys - she lives out on a farm in the middle of nowhere with no running water and no electricity.
First of all, this kid is a major brat. Unforgivably ungrateful, self-centered and full of false pride. If G hadn't been the one to suggest I watch this, I would have turned it off half-way through. Second, the grandmother is far too passive, letting the boy talk smack to her, steal her few possessions, and allowing him to continue his ungrateful ways.
In the end, he does learn some gratitude and love but I don't feel like there was enough redemption to make the moobie worthwhile.
