It bothers me because in the article I read (don't know if it's the 
above) someone comments that DR is the biggest thing since Macauly 
Culkin, and I thought, "NOOOOOOOO!  Don't let Daniel start making 
horrible horrible movies and end up like Macauly Culkin!"  Because 
that brief description sounds horrible in the way that Culkin's The 
Good Son was horrible ~ trite, melodramatic, and just a bad idea.

On the other hand, it sounds like Daniel's parents have half a brain 
and would rather encourage their son as opposed to farm him out in 
every money-making-scheme movie that comes his way.

Here's hoping that Daniel sticks with good stuff along the lines of 
David Copperfield/Tailor of Panama/Harry Potter, and stays away from 
the shlock....
