Derivative but sincere, this Spielbergian parable dishes out the kind of unabashed sentiment that always goes down easier in a holiday release. It's enchanting for kids and never less than diverting for grown-ups. The title character (Sean Patrick Flannery) is a hairless, white-skinned teenager who emerges from years of seclusion in an isolated farmhouse.
