On 15:15 his dad says, "So let's do it the right way, okay? Let's learn what it takes to fly." Whaaaat?! Where was this sage advice before this latest aerial mishap? You know, during all those other times when his son was risking life and limb re-doing the same failed flying experiments of the times before the Wright Brothers finally pulled one off at Kitty Hawk.What was the point in letting the kid almost kill himself trying to achieve flight? A lesson on the ol' "To Learn to Fail On the Way to Learning to Succeed"? Sorry pops, that might work with learning to ride bikes, but not with airplanes.(Rant Begin) These kids are living in the lap of luxury, compared to my upbringing - overseas. I was just as nuts about airplanes and flight, only we couldn't afford to dabble in such endeavors. Between Cost of Living and Tuition Fees, having a kite was the closest thing to flying my folks could afford to indulge me in. If I tried any of these dangerous stunts even once, my dad would pull the plug on my hobbies faster than you could say "Crash!". That would be the end of the dream as far as the family was concerned. If I wanted to fly it would have to be on my own time and on my own dime - way into adulthood where of course other costs are involved. (Rant End)So I guess my question is: Is this movie completely fictional in its presentation of this family dynamic, or are there really parents out there who are this..."indulgent" in entertaining the interests of their kids?

the kids acting seemed better than the adults to me, :)
