Right?\u201d<\/p>\n
THR<\/em> reports that, later, a journalist said it was \u201cembarrassing\u201d to say their film wasn\u2019t political \u201cafter having had access to health care to fight cancer themselves.\u201d<\/p>\nSunny Dancer<\/em> revolves around Bella<\/strong>\u2018s character Ivy, a teenager who beats cancer and \u201ccan\u2019t think of anything worse than becoming a Make-a-Wish kid,\u201d resulting in her parents sending her to a \u201csummer camp for kids affected by cancer, led by camp counselor Patrick (Harris<\/strong>), she manages to find unexpected friends in an unlikely group of misfits.\u201d<\/p>\nAnother reporter asked Neil<\/strong>: \u201cDo you dare to criticize your government and do you think democracy in the U.S. is in danger?\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cWow. While I have my own political opinions, I think as a performer, especially in this kind of movie, [I\u2019m] trying to be as inclusive [as possible.] I never read this script as a political statement. It was much more about a human growing up and having realizations about themselves, singularly and [about] friendship,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n
