I know that kid he’s in my fourth grade class. His name is Clark. He’s one of my best friends we used today, but that was in second grade. He’s really sweet in real life too like I know his full name his mom’s name his dad’s name.

@CassandraWilder-y9f 24

this is far more charming and stylized than i would've imagined for Travolta's debut, makes sense how it got into cannes. for a family movie this looks pretty solid. call me mildly surprised.

@sulucandles 63

Love this is filmed at TWA hotel. Literally my Disneyland.
