The concept is simple (too simple say some critics). The main character's eight year old self somehow comes to be with him in present time and they, essentially, impart their wisdom to each other.
The dialogue is fun. Bruce Willis (Red) is his usual sarcastic (but not violent) self. Spencer Breslin (Raising Helen) is very good and I believe they adopted his method of 'crooking' his finger by getting Willis to copy it. Emily Mortimer (Nottinghill) plays a younger, sweeter version of her Newsroom (TV) character. And Lily Tomlin (TV's Laugh-In, 1960's, try to find it) delivers her lines with her usual dry, non-chalance.
Good for the soul, I recommend it.
