Get out the tissue box. "Like Dandelion Dust" is one of those movies that will have you teary eyed from beginning to end. It brings together an all star cast including Mira Sorvino, Barry Pepper, and Cole Hauser. It tells the story of the unconditional love of parents, and the things that we would all sacrifice to keep the child we love safe and loved.
In "Like Dandelion Dust" a six year old boy named Joey finds himself torn between the adoptive parents who have raised him since birth, and the biological parents that are trying to get him back due to a technical glitch in the original adoption papers. Through out the movie, I found myself relating to both sets of parents. The biological family is poor and the father has a history of abuse. But you can see how hard he is trying to change and give the son he always wanted the life he deserves. Its only when the adoptive parents confront him with a terrible offer that he loses his self control and goes back to the bottle. The adoptive parents have everything they ever wanted, but all their money can't save them from losing the son they adore. They will do anything to keep him, even if it means running for their lives.
With each and every scene, I found myself sniffing. As a mother myself, I can't imagine the pain of having your child taken from you or having to give him up to keep him safe. The actors bring to life this amazing drama with warmth and heart felt emotion. Its a movie you definitely won't want to miss. It will teach you the true meaning of love and sacrifice.
This amazing DVD is available now from Twentieth Century Fox. Get your copy at entertainment retailers nationwide.
