That was an excellent one.

Sorry, this movie sucks

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

My girls (ages 7,8,9) picked this movie because it had dogs in it. None of them made found it the least bit interesting. They were so bored they didn't even laugh at the farting dogs.The plot is very difficult to follow the whole bracelet thing isn't really explained and the acting is atrocious. The story strikes me as something you might read in a Jr high creative writing assignment.The cinematography looks like it was shot with a 1990s camcorder, some scenes you aren't even sure where it fits in to the story line.This is an hour and a half of my life I'll never have back. I think the people who give this movie 10s probably were involved in making it.

There is one good lesson to be learned from this film -- for prospective screenwriters: if this movie got made, then any movie can be made.Miss Carson and Miss Edwards are enjoyable to watch but the story, the characterizations and the staging of scenes would earn no better than a D minus at any respectable film school.Viewers aged in the high single digits will have little patience for this movie.If you're looking for something worthwhile for your kid, give them something meaningful, such as "The Ballet Shoes" or even a "Roxy Hunter."

I attended the premiere of The Bracelet of Bordeaux last weekend. I was totally impressed and enjoyed the movie very much. It was rewarding to see how all of the hard work put in by Frank Eakin and his community model approach to movie-making looked on the big screen. I know the cast and crew felt the same way. The characters, music, special effects and story line were great. We brought guests to see the movie as well. They were also impressed with quality of the film and actors. It was fun to see places we recognized in the movie. We all thought that it was refreshing to see a children's movie that also kept adults watching. We hope to see more Helen Hixson adventures in the future.

This movie has gotten very positive reviews in the local press and from a national critic. My expectations were high, and they were fully met. We attended the movie because it stars a cute Papillon (I have two) and kids who love mystery adventures. The story kept me engaged from start to finish and the performances were excellent. My girl and boy loooved it. It was filled with many chuckles for both kids and parents. In order to understand the performances, you had to understand the type of humor and off-beat nature of the characters. The kids seemed to get it, as they laughed often and clapped enthusiastically at the end of the movie.The headline of the review from a tough movie critic in today's The Villager was "The Bracelet of Bordeaux Works Like a Charm". I agree.
