The cast and the story are engaging. We get Ms. Welch again, this time as a wannabe love interest. PR is as good with this child actor as with anything else. And it's nice to have him in a light story (although pity the parents, no matter how snooty: their son is missing, so far as they know!)
The cast is racially mixed, and very relaxed about it. The only overt reference to race comes at the last moment, and you can justify it by asking how else could the substitution be made.
