I was living in Australia when this film showed on TV. I was told about it by a Self-Parenting practitioner so I checked it out. I thought it was a very reasonable and accurate portrayal of a true "Inner Child" which is the topic of one of my books.
It followed exactly the transition of a SP practitioner, except that the motivation was provided completely by the inner child in the movie whereas typically it is the role of the inner parent to self-parent the inner child.
It also has more quote worthy lines, better than the one that was noted so hopefully I'll write those down if I watch it again. Its the only movie I know where an excellent portrayal of the inner child is given by name.
Missing Plot device: I kept waiting for the grown up Susan to slip and knock her head again. And really, "who ate those cookies?"
I'd like to see a sequel. Maybe bring Pru's IC into the picture. Bring the other client writer guy back (not the Dad.) He's good for some comic relief and would have some good one-liners.
