It followed the book pretty closely. Its a good rental, I think you might like it if you turn off the deep thought part of your brain and watched it like a kid.

Basically, he has to carry someone up a mountain, there are tons of onions there taht they eat, then we him and the dude he carried go back to camp they find treasure buried in a hole, they also find tons of lizards or something that are very dangerous,his mom or a lawyer comes, gets em out, busts the place, it rains after years, etc. The kid who came takes the kid who he carried home. At home, the first thing to go right was his father's shoe smell spray or something.

I watched it all the way through because of my cousin, but it was too childish for me.

I thought it was pretty good.. Clues were told all around the movie where everything effentually merge at the end. One thing that I don't like is there is Rick Fox in the movie. *yuck*
