Movie Reviews of Tall Tale [Region 2]
Movie Review: A Cheesy Film made for young kids and young kids only...
Summary: 2 Stars
TALL TALE has the potential to be an excellent film. The possibilities of a tall tale adventure with Pecos Bill, Calamity Jane, Paul Bunyan, and John Henry should be great. This isn't.
The two stars I gave it are for two performances that head and pretty good cast and the music by Randy Edelmen (the genius behind GETTYSBURG's score). Patrick Swayze is an excellent actor, and now I fully appreciate his ability to turn a complete dud of a role into gold. He takes the role of Pecos, a shallow character, and steals every moment onscreen. When he flies in and out of his tornado, you don't even glance at the larger-than-life twister because you're mesmorized by Swayze. He's excellent.
The other good acting is by Stephen Lang (also from GETTYSBURG) in a brief role as the hero's dad. The music is amazing.
The film starts off engaging enough, but slowly deteriorates down to cheesy plot and dialouge. Many of the scenes toward the end made me laugh out loud because of their predictable nature. Other negative things are often choppy visual effects and incomplete shots.
Nice try, but the film fails.
