This was a great family movie that was interesting and kept you interested from beginning to end. This movie was surprisingly good compared to my expectations. Great for adults and kids.

What Parents Need to Know
About A Plumm Summer
Parents need to know that although the plot revolves around the characters in a little kid's television show, the movie centers on a 13-year-old boy's changing relationship with his family and the world around him, and will work best for that age range. An alcoholic, remote father and a mother who seems to cede all the care of the youngest son to his older brother are not model parents, but love of family helps them cope. A boy is bullied by his peers for being a coward, and there are suspenseful scenes of a near drowning.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fact that this movie is based on a true story. If a major children's television character were kidnapped today, how do you think the reaction would differ from that in Montana in 1968? Why do you think it's so important to Rocky that Froggy Doo be found?
