Movie review
This movie gets my vote as one of best movies out there in the past or in today era it has lots of drama and even some romantic as well but main story is around a boy name Ted Lubitch who was born without an Immune System and had to live in a sterile environment the movie starts from his birth to age of 17 where he stuck in Sterile room unit he gain more Immune he seems to have a ok life a close Relationship with his parents but he still hopes one day to get out of this Sterile environment he does later on have TVs or Monitors sent to school to take classes at school but then he falls in love with girl next door who came to his birthday party for years about the only kid that would go at first she act goofing and mean to him which was rude but then she felt bad then them there the love story kick in which is good and from there to to the end the movie was great but was kind of rush as well even though it was a great ending would of like a little bit more otherwise it was a good movie.


So was this Based on a true story or not
It was and his name was David Vetter who was born with the same thing the story of this movie but sadly it did not have a great ending for him he pass away in 1984 which is sad and may he Rest In Peace.

Acting
Must say John Travolta as Todd did a great job playing him in this one as for other acting not bad as well.

Final thoughts
Well a great movie would of think it was amazing if it had more for ending is what I think but this indeed worth checking out as it had everything great for a TV movie and indeed will be something I watch over and over again.
