Nice little extra feature on the real Pierre Dulaine, plus the kids who were the Dungeon Kids in the movie.
The movie is one of those "based on a true story" films in which a person believes in down-on-their-luck kids and inspires them to want to better their lives. So it's pretty predictable. And of course, the ending is very contrived. And the movie does everything to make you believe that Pierre Dulaine isn't gay (and you know, maybe he isn't, but that's not the vibe I get).
Good for a rental on a day/night you want to see a feel-good story.
