I remember watching this as a kid. It's actually very sad. Every kid's worst nightmare, really. Losing your mom, losing your mom to someone else, it might be what they thought they wanted - but can you imagine the unbearable feeling of when it finally dawns on them how wrong they were?! Can you imagine the fear of never getting your mom back because of your own stupidity?!
Under the guise of a light-hearted kids movie, this is actually a cautionary tale of be careful what you wish for! It's a good movie, and very effective for the emotional impact that it has on me at the very thought of doing what those kids did! I just can't imagine! Well, I can, and that's the problem.
Good movie, but ultimately tragic for a while. Very tragic! This movie gave me the feeling of death, even though nobody really dies in it. Wow, for a movie to be able to do that, that's some kind of powerful film!
