Movie Reviews of Follow Me, Boys!
Movie Review: Catchy Song, Lovely Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an old Disney movie that falls back on the traditional Disney morals and gentleness.
It is a great movie about Scouting. However, if you are looking to show young boys a movie about scouting, this is more than a movie about Scouting.
This story is about a man who plays in a traveling band. The band stops in a town, the man sees a girl and he's in love. So he quits the band, gets a job and tries to make a place in the community for himself and woo the girl of his dreams. One of the things he does is volunteer to lead a troop of Scouts.
Eventually he does get the woman and he continues to lead the troop of Scouts during the rest of his life. During the course of this movie he learns he can't have children, meets a young man with an alcoholic father, and then he ends up adopting that boy when the father dies. While this part of the movie is heart breaking there are some funny times as well. I think we laughed more than we were sad when watching this movie.
Throughout the movie he sings this catchy tune 'Follow Me boys'. After the movie, my children and I sang it over and over. So be warned, it's one that sticks in your head.
Exellent Movie, Worth every penny. Enjoy.
Movie Review: Follow Me to Classics
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is really all about such classic movies on dvd. Though my husband is older than me by like 7 years and has watched many movies over the years like older movies. The one that has been close to my heart is Follow Me Boys, It is because of Fred Macmurray from My 3 sons but also a cute blonde haired boy , one of my favorite actors today Kurt Russell. Well Follow Me Boys is about a Man named Lemuel (Fred) takes on a job in a 5 and 10 small store and settles down in a small town and found love along with being a Scout master for many years. Not having a child of his own with his wife Vida . After the sudden death of his father Whitey (Kurt) goes and lives with Lem and Vida.
My favorite movie with Kurt is : Overboard , he stars in it with his long time live in love Goldie Hawn.
The other classic movies I have watched and enjoyed were : Mister Roberts starring the late great actor Henry Fonda and Father Goose starring Cary Grant.
There is such classics movies out there for us all to watch, and we are never to young or too old to see them.
Like the saying goes Older is better.
Movie Review: A must see for every scout or wanna be scout
Summary: 5 Stars
This is classic Disney and Classic scouts all in one. One of my favorite Movies of all time (sorry star wars and Lord of the rings ranks lower) This is a must see. I like to show it to boys that have either just joined the CubScout pack and boys that are about to move into Boy Scouts. As someone that has been working with boys in scouting for many years (looking forward to many years to come) this is a movie I always keep handy. You can't watch it to many times and it makes a great reward to gather the boys for a movie night and watch their eyes light up. I don't agree that boys may not find it revelant or interesting we watched it last night with 15 boys piled on top of each other in the living room and barely had a peep out of them except when they all sang along with the theme song. I am now ordering several more copies of the movie for Parents that are wanting to add it to their home collections. Five stars really are not enough.Movie Review: A fantastic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this movie for our son who has been in the BSA program for 3 years now and to our surprise the ENTIRE family found it enjoyable--even the older teenager who hates our taste in movies and our girls as well. It has its totally sappy moments but it will spin its web around you! A movie that is appropriate for ALL age levels...although there are a couple of scenes that deal with death.
One of those films your kids will be asking to watch again and again. I just wish there were more special features...like deleted scenes, after watching the movie you will be wanting to see them too!
A great performance by Fred MacMurry...plus many actors who have really made a name for themselves these days:Kurt Russell("Tango&Cash","Computer Wore Tennis Shoes", etc.) Gregor Vigen ("Waltons"); Donald May ("L.A. Law","Dallas",&"All My Children"); Carl Reindel ("Buck Rogers","Andromeda Strain",etc.)...just mention a few.
Movie Review: Classis Disney film of how one man made a difference.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a story of how Lem Siddons (Fred MacMurray) makes a big difference in the lives of young boys and many adults in a small town.
His original plan was simply to impress a young lady named Vida Downey (Vera Miles), but ends up being hopelessly linked to the local boys.
He gets (marries) the girl, adopts the local tough kid (played by Kurt Russell) and helps all the boys become successful and respected men.
The story is predictable, but if you grew up watching the old Disney films as I did, you'll enjoy the film.
Something is missed if you haven't been involved in Boy Scouting.
I'm sure "Follow Me Boys" was used to promote Scouting in its time and could still work today.
I will be showing this film to the 40+ scouts in my troop in a few weeks.
I will report back with their reactions.
