Hal Linden, who plays the grandfather, thinks this is a good film for the younger generation to see.

"One, it's about accomplishing what you set out to accomplish in the face of no help," Linden said. "Kids have to know they can do it. Two, it's about a time that they may not know about.

The movie is being screened in select theaters.
