Digging to China (1998)

*ing: Evan Rachel Wood, Kevin Bacon
Genre: Drama

10 year old Harriet (Evan Rachel Wood) lives with her mother and her elder sister. Mother owns and run a motel and Harriet simply won't get along with her elder sister. Harriet is pretty much a lonely kid leading a life minus much friends ... but ... Harriet is a dreamer and lives in her fantasy world thinking she is not needed by her mother and sister Gwen. There are some funny moments when Harriet waits in the school ground to be abducted by aliens and in another scene hits a power cable while digging in the hope to surface into China on the other side of the globe :) That's Harriet's life till fate brings Ricky (Kevin Bacon) to her mothers motel and how life for Harriet changes for ever. Evan Rachel Wood and Kevin Bacon have delivered brilliant performances ... Kevin plays a mentally challenged man ... the friendship between Harriet and Ricky is the highlight of the movie. Watch this movie for it's simple story of two very unlikely friends. I normally don't rate movies ... however .... I would like to rate this movie a 4/5 ... trust me ... it's worth it.
