Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Huck Finn
Movie Review: Very unlike the book
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is very unlike the book. It is not nearly as funny or as heartfelt as the book and also lacks many major events. The events it does include also are changed for no clear purpose. Elijah Wood is cute, but he is also a great deal younger than the real Huck Finn was supposed to be. I would not reccomend it to either teachers or students who are looking for a version that follows the book.
Summary of The Adventures of Huck Finn
Huckleberry Finn's age has been scaled down in this 1993 Disney film in order to accommodate star Elijah Wood's young years at the time. But that's not the only concession Mark Twain's great American novel must make to Disney revisionism. Wood's Huck, as adapted for the screen by writer-director Stephen Sommers, is all rascal and only nominally a philosopher, which takes a lot of the soul out of Twain's extraordinary story about Huck's enlightenment while traveling with the slave Jim (Courtney B. Vance) along the Mississippi river. Big chunks of the journey are also minimized in significance, and not just for the sake of storytelling economy. Jason Robards Jr. and Robbie Coltrane brighten things up, but overall this is an unnecessarily simplified version of an important story. --Tom KeoghFilm adaptation of Mark Twain's story about the young boy and his travels with the escaped slave Jim down the Mississippi River.
