Movie Review"Hearts in Atlantis" introduces us to Bobby Garfield, an 11-year old whose biggest challenge is how to earn enough money to buy that killer bike that's on display at the local sporting goods store, despite his mother's efforts at keeping him from accomplishing that goal.
Following the death of his father, Bobby's being raised alone by his hardhearted mother. His mother constantly reminds him that it's because of his father's inability to pass up an inside straight, that they are barely scrapping by and are forced to live paycheck to paycheck. Though she's able to buy herself beautiful dresses for work, she can't seem to find a spare dime to buy Bobby a decent gift for his 11th birthday. He's looking forward to a bike but receives - as his sole gift - an adult library card. Just when things are looking hopeless for Bobby, into his sterile life comes a mysterious man who moves his belongings in a paper bag, much to the chagrin of Bobby's mom.
