True. However the book, The Mosquito Coast was published in 1982. Allie Fox became my favorite character when I read it in 1984. I'm not too big a fan of the movie.

Ouch.

Hey, now...

I know alll about the book. I just haven't read it.

(it's cool the author's son does all those "weird" BBC documentaries I'm addicted to!)

I actually was thinking that was a strong possibility with the feelings you have enough to warrant your nym there.

Is your opposition to the movie along the lines of the character being too sympathetic or not sympathetic enough?

Regardless, I can imagine big issues involved here cause this ain't no space opera we're talking about. This is real world, and real issues straight and dirty. That's one of the main reasons I love the movie. SO much push and pull with the protagonist/anti-hero.
