Scenes shot with a camera placed no more than knee-high to a grasshopper can supply kidsight without insight, and Michael Kearney, the eight-year-old newcomer cast and ineptly directed as Rufus, wears a grave, pinched expression that suggests little beyond the possibility that he has a loose tooth...
