Ratings and reviews

Tommy Warshaw is a twelve year old Catholic School student whose best friend is a mentally challenged adult named Papass. Together Tommy and Papass deliver meat for a butcher shop in order to raise money to get a brand new bike. Although Tommy's relationship with his mom and Papass is challenged when Tommy begins to hang out with a girl named Melissa who is played by Robin Williams daughter Zelda. I watched this for Robin Williams but he's not the lead and that is okay because this is a good movie.

I just loved it. I can never figure the plot, but that's ok. The laughter and tears make up for it. The whole cast did just an amazing job, i wish this is one I could buy for my phone. Lost my DVD copy!

I have only viewed the clips of this film, The House of D. And it is Majical, to say the least. I cant understand why I have never known of it until today !!!
