The winning film as selected by the all-children panel at Belfast's Cinemagic Film Festival '98. Howard Spitz (Kelsey Grammar of Frazier) writes really bad detective novels and hardly sells any at all. He decides to try his hand at children's books with the help of a 10 year-old girl he meets in the local library. His problems start when he becomes a success and can't cope with the fame. A great buddy movie but with a different angle.
