Prince Of Central Park | Year: 1999 Classification: Drama Directed: - John Leekley Actors/Actresses: - Danny Aiello - Kathleen Turner Earlier version This post is for Doreen Sullivan. You should look for the (1977) version of Prince of Central Park. It's truer to the book, it includes his sister and the treehouse. It's not out on video, but you might be able to find it at your local video store. Great Movie! I have just ordered this movie on DVD, after I seen it for the first time on HBO. I really liked what I seen. The movie had great actors and used great footage of Central Park and other parts of Manhattan(New York). The little boy named JJ, played by Frankie Nasso lives in a small cave in Central Park and is beat up on by the bullies. In my opinion, JJ shows a good example that if you set your mind to something, you can always accomplish it. He goes to Manhattan in search of his mother and soon after meeting this couple, whose marriage is falling apart.. he discovers that his mother is dead. :( In the end he lives with the couple and lives a great life. The Prince of Central Park I watched this movie when the title caught my attention. As a young kid growing up in a highly disfunctional family I read a book with the same title. This was my favorite book through my entire youth as well as highschool. It was my escape. The movie is loosely based on the book in the charactors and the plot. However the book was so much deeper in the respect of how JJ learns to live in the park. As soon as the Kathleen Turner charactor is shown you know exactly where this thing is going. JJ never seems to be more than a few days at summer camp sleeping in a really cool cave. He never gets sick from eating out of garbage cans. He never breaks into Taven on the Green for food. He never build a tree house using ropes because he can't hurt the tree. This book is out of print but if you can find a copy or get it at your library READ IT! You will remeber it forever.
