Ricky Baker has been
raised in foster care and he gets a new placement in the New Zealand
countryside. Ricky has a
reputation for getting into trouble but he starts to like it here. Aunt Bella really loves him and he can
get along with Uncle Hec even though he doesn’t say much. As a birthday surprise, Ricky gets a dog
of his own and that’s a great gift for him.
Unfortunately, circumstances change and the authorities come to remove Ricky
from this home. Ricky disides that this isn’t going to happen and he goes on the run in the bush
country. Uncle Hec knows Ricky will need help in the bush so he goes out to track him.
The people are
different and the story is different in this film. Uncle Hec and Ricky are like oil and water but they decide
to get along. There is a reward
for Ricky and many people are out looking for him. Uncle Hec and Ricky are thinking of this only as an
adventure. Sometimes a person has
had hard luck and sometimes this starts to turn around. There are a lot of funny moments!! 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
