Best movie of this year hands down!

Lack of good storyline.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I saw this film last year at a film festival in Livermore CA and I would like to show it to my grandchildren (with proper guidance about the fight scenes). How do I acquire a copy or a download? I brought my husband to see it since he has a non-commercial pilot's license. We very seldom go to the theater and he loved the film. I hope that others would be able to enjoy this adventure flick. There really are people out there that will support a film without graphic sex. Everyone can remember a time in their youth that they unwittingly ended up in a pickle. This is a pretty good film for youth, especially boys. If anyone knows if this film is going to be picked up in the future, let me know.

I just stumbled across this little gem on an on-line movie web-site and all I can say is WOW! It's been a while since I've seen a film done this well and how refreshing considering the garbage that they consider films nowadays. The acting outstanding, especially the boys, cast wonderful, plot awesome...it has everything and to top that, the heroes are kids. A great adventure for the whole family...adults and kids alike... it's got everything you'd want in a great story, lots of riveting action, drama, a little comedy and lessons to be learned about true friendship, loyalty and courage. The movie was REAL.. I found myself rooting for the two young heroes immediately and readily drawn into their adventure and wondering all the time what was going to happen next as in any good story and at the credits, I wanted to stand up and cheer...great work guys...this one is a WINNER!

This is an adventure movie of two school boys who battle bullies and gangsters over the course of a couple of days. The film has some decent action scenes: the bike chase scene, landing the plane on a highway scene and the parachuting scene. And, any movie where Stephen Baldwin gets whacked can't be all that bad.I gave this movie a mediocre rating because it seems to straddle the line between a film made for older teens and one directed for young children. In doing so the film comes off as somewhat boring and juvenile for the older set and something reckless and inappropriate for the younger set. The film is somewhat reminiscent of Disney's 'Apple Dumpling Gang' or 'Escape From Witch Mountain' but also has a few action scenes like a James Bond flick.As to why this may be inappropriate for children. The film makers appear to be sensitive to language but not violence in the movie. For example, in one scene there is a struggle on an airplane where the proverbial bad guy uses the phrase 'dumb' plane instead of 'damn' plane; yet, here the latter phrase would seem more realistic --- after all he's a bad guy so he wouldn't likely curtail his language. In contrast, a fight scene in the school yard where one of the boys unrealistically punches-out three bullies is made to seem as if violence is cool.There is also a sense of recklessness that is portrayed as 'fun times' that would probably send up a bunch of red-flags for parents of young children. For example, there is the scene where the boys dart in and out of traffic on their bikes while being chased down by some bullies in a car while numerous accidents ensure along the way. The two boys willing get into a car and drive away with two strangers who turn out to be gangsters; don't parents warn children about not doing this all the time? And, the boys are found gleefully rolling around on the floor with another strange man who turns out to be a mob boss. This seems to be portrayed as okay because he's an affable mob boss. Enough said.

I sat down and watched this with my 2 young sons, at first i thought here we go another happy go lucky kids film. In fact it turned out that i enjoyed every moment of this film. From start to finsih you feel for the 2 boys in the film. The acting was great to say the least, for actors that are rather unknown they put there heart into this. For them doing this you forget you are watching a movie and feel you are living it instead.I came across this film by accident in my local video shop, lets just say i shall not be returning it at all.If you want a heart felt, and ready to experience the joys of being a kid all over again I would highly rate this movie as a must see.
