Cute story about a paperboy and a girl at one house where he delivers papers. It shows caring and concern for others and the love of families amidst hardship. The young actors in this film are absolutely adorable and realistic. The storyline is pleasant and the production values very good. The relationship between the boy and his grandfather warms your heart; the way they help each other is very endearing. Even the shots of the boy riding his bike with the freedom that childhood has, even with his difficulties, will make you smile. This is truly a joyful film to watch. The fact that Paco is from a Spanish speaking family (with subtitles) in which he is bilingual is something many kids can relate to. Paco has lost his Dad and lives with his Grandpa. His paper route helps contribute to the well being of their life. The girl comes from a better off family. But, when her father loses his job and has to move, she is distressed at the idea of never seeing Paco again. Paco's grandpa encourages him to never give up and he finds a way to follow the girl and win the respect of her family. AT the same time, he learns what is truly important - each other. You have to love Grandpa's lesson: to laugh at adversity because it is just a silly joke being played on you. You don't let it get in your way with something you want.
