Plot: In this offbeat comedy set in the 1950s, Patrick Swayze plays Jack McCloud, a drifter and beatnik who enters the conservative suburban life of the Holman family after Jeanne Holman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) accidentally hits him with her car. Jeanne takes Jack into her home while he recovers from his injuries. McCloud offends the neighbors and friends of the Holmans with his unorthodox behavior, including nude sunbathing and Buddhism. He tells the children, Tom (Joseph Mazzello) and Gunny (Seth Mumy), stories of a genie who has taken the form of a dog. Jeanne and her kids come under his sway as Jack's mystical powers help the kids' Little League team win a big game. Martha Coolidge directed the film from a script by Elizabeth Anderson, based on a short story by Ellen Green. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Great family or any person movie!
Added 2/15/2009

This is a great movie with a great theme. Why it didn't get 4 stars is beyond me! Probably because it is too "clean!" My wish is more movies are made this way, clean and with good messages!

Added 5/4/2008

This is one of Patrick's best light hearted movies.
You have a family in need of a husband & father.
Patrick fills the role, until the father comes home from
tha war. The father went off to be a soldier, it was during
WWII. The father finally comes home from the war, and the oldest
son finds out once he become a father that JACK(Patrick) was a
soldier that had died in the war back when he was a kid.
I rate this movie a 9 from 1to10!!

More movies should have such integrity

This is a delightful movie. Not slick. So much feeling and some
delightful imagination. Wonderful morals. Good acting.
Great nostalgia for those of us who grew up in 50's/60's.

Excellent family film
Added 12/21/2006

This is a very powerful film with an excellent message. Know what is really important in life and never give up. Patrick Swayze plays a drifter with the power to grant wishes. Swayze does a great job in this film and makes his character fairly realistic. Joseph Mazzello (The Tissue King) puts his best foot forward showing why he's cast in so many tear jerkers. I love this film and have it in my collection.
