A number of other IMDb reviewers hinted that "Little Secrets" was very good only for ages 10 to 18. Well, I enjoyed watching it on cable TV even though I'm more than 50 years past that age range. I consider it to be a "coming of age" genre film. It has a good story to tell with neat twists, and good music. The fact that it is also sneaks in a couple of morality messages is the only part that seemed to me to may be oriented to teens and pre-teens, which did not distract from the emotional feeling I got from the story. Perhaps some adults also could realize how stupid and possibly harmful some of their behaviors are. As often happens with me with good stories, I was teary by the end of the film.
As Micah Schow, who played Gregory on "Little Secrets," wrote in his own IMDb review, "Since this movie is full of first-time child actors you cant expect everyone to have the greatest acting skills in America." But the performances were most of the time pretty good, particularly the principals.
One minor quibble I have, the film director or editor should have shortened the break dance that Philip went into when he became deliriously happy. Perhaps the scene was kept long as a favor to the talented young performer (Michael Angarano) playing that part.
