Movie Reviews of Radio Flyer
Movie Review: Well Acted But Hardly A Classic
Summary: 2 Stars
I found the other reviews very interesting. Yes, the movie is very well acted, which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars but frankly the abuse was so horrific I found the movie barely watchable.
I admit that when watching a movie I look for something to entertain & escape into. If I want reality, I'll watch CNN. For that reason, while I know child abuse exists & think it needs to be acknowledged to end it, I don't really want to watch someone hurt children (& animals). Maybe part of the reason I had such a problem with this movie was the fact that everyone talks about what a great children's movie this is. It's only appropriate if your idea of a children's movie is "Friday the 13th". The violence is WAY too intense to let children watch.
Movie Review: 1.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 1 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A relentlessly manipulative movie that leaves no stone unturned in its attempt to make the audience cry/cheer/whatever, Radio Flyer is not only shameless but ridiculous (we're supposed to be happy at an ending where little Bobby is all alone and isolated from his family) and blessed with awful special effects--please stay away.
