It's For Your Own Good, Kids...

Do you still have a chip on your shoulder because your dad forced you all to move house once?

Did starting again at a new school cause you a few problems as a teenager?

Suck it up, eh? At least your dad wasn't Mosquito Coast's Allie Fox. Deciding that “America is gone”, this specky inventor drags his brood off to a South American jungle with a zany scheme to build an ice factory.

And put those Disneyfied notions of adventures with eccentric inventors out of your head, too.

This is less Honey, I Shrunk The Ice Factory! and more Fitzcarraldo with ice cubes.
