the Blue Butterfly

the Blue Butterfly (2004)

Ah, the blue butterfly. Kind of a cheesey movie, but it works for me.

the Blue Butterfly is based on a true story. I enjoyed the kind of heartwarming side of it, but at the same itme, enjoyed the adventures in it, too.

the Blue Butterfly follows Pete, a boy with terminal cancer, who is really into butterlfies and bugs in general. William Hurt, is a guy who is famous for entomology, and one of the only men to see the Blue Morpho butterfly. William Hurt's character, Alan, is Pete's idol, who is in town. Pete begs Alan and his mother to go to the Amazon with Alan to find the Blue Morpho butterlfy, as it wuld be a dream of his.

Anyways, Pete goes to the Amazon and stays there, where he was a wonderful time there with the Amazonians. Pete and Alan go on a wonderful adventure looking for the Blue Morpho, which they eventually find.

did i mention Pete was in a wheelchair? Ths piece of info may be useful, as Pete and Alan fall into a hole and Alan gets injured. Pete has to climb his way out to go look for help. He does find help, and they do get rescued, and they do find the Blue Morpho!

the Blue Butterfly is a ovie filled with charm, laughs, and character. I enjoyed the comedy side and the emotional side of the film.

I give the Blue Butterfly, 3 stars!
