Mary_Agnes_Donohue adapted her French success Le_Grand_Chemin for this American version, reworked as a vehicle for Melanie_Griffith and Don_Johnson. Paradise is a coming-of-age story about a 10-year-old boy named Willard (Elijah_Wood), who is sent by his mother to stay with her best friend Lily (Melanie_Griffith), who lives in the Delta shrimp-fishing country in a town called Paradise. Lily and her husband Ben (Don_Johnson) have been living in an unmentioned emotional vacuum since the death of their own three year old boy. Willard makes friends with the local 9-year-old tomboy, Billie (Thora_Birch), who teaches Willard to be comfortable with himself. When Willard gains a handle on his own emotions, he can now help Ben and Lily to connect, overcome grief and rediscover themselves. Paul Brenner, Rovi
