Prince of Central Park Movie Review 2000

JJ Somerled (Nasso) is a 12-year-old stuck in the abusive foster home of Mrs. Ardis (Moriarty). Fed up, he takes off for the carousel at Central Park, where he had his last happy memory of his long-gone mother. In the park, JJ is befriended by all sorts of do-gooders and eccentrics. Bland non-musical reworking of a musical play.
