Movie Reviews of The Safe Side - Stranger Safety: Hot Tips To Keep Cool Kids Safe With People They Don't Know And Kinda Know
Movie Review: Gripping!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another tour de force film from Austrian auteur Hans Zeilinger ("Wie F'r Eine Aktive," "Tragf'higen!"), this is an absolute aesthetic delight.
Zeilinger paints--with shadows and light--a cinematic landscape that is stark, melancholy, and yet hides a deeper warmth behind every image and every character. Using the camera lens as the "eye of God," Zeilinger focuses on the absurd in a way that only members of the Austrian filmmaking community seem to have adopted. It is a Dogma 95 for the new age!
"The Safe Side - Stranger Safety" is both a morality play and a frightening glimpse of the world we may someday be facing. The "Stranger" in Zeilinger's world not only offers candy to children metaphorically, but quite literally too, in a disturbing montage that is reminiscent of his earliest films.
While this may not be Zeilinger's best work, it certainly sees the filmmaker back in top form, and his brilliant cautionary tale has the perfect blend of gripping action, haunting melodies, despair, and fart jokes.
Kudos, Hans! Kudos!
Movie Review: 3 1/2 year old twins got the concept after 2 viewings
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I was a parent, I would have thought showing a 3 year old this video would be too young. Had I heard about this video sooner, I would have shown it to them.
I have 3 1/2 year old twins and 95% of the time I'm alone with them, at the mall, in the store, everywhere. Early on I decided that I would enforce that they need to "not do something" because that's not what a "safe kid" does. This video continues my "be a safe kid" talk.
I had my 3 1/2 year old son run away from me at McDonalds, so I brought him back to the play area and asked him if he had his safe side adult with him and he said "no", then I asked him if he was grabbed by someone in McDonalds would they be a "don't know" and he said "yes", then I said what would you do? He then SCREAMED at the top of his lungs, "YOU ARE NOT MY MOM, YOU ARE NOT MY DAD!". Fortunately, it was 7:30pm and nobody was in the playarea, but I was so glad that the ideas were synthesized into his head. Really, really glad.
Movie Review: Fun, Informative, Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
My girls really enjoy this video, & I do, too. When we first got the video, we watched it together a few times and discussed it along the way. My girls were young, so they needed some explanations about a few things, & together we discussed situations that may arise.
I love this video because it opens the door for communication about these issues with children in a fun, silly way that kids love. My girls still like watching the video just for the fun of it (but they still learn safety along the way!).
It lets kids know what to do in situations that could be scary for the adults in their lives. I don't want my children to live in fear, but I want to empower them to make wise decisions. When they're little, they need to know how to stay safe, but not necessarily the "why". This video gives kids tools & guidelines in a format they love.
I highly recommend this video, and that caregivers take the time to watch it with their children and discuss it as well.
Movie Review: Must have for your Kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I am mainly writing this after reading the only bad reveiw of this Video...
There is no Video or book that will take the place of a parents supervision and teaching... However this vid puts everything into an easy to watch and keeps my kids into it and makes them remember what it says.. THEY DONT always listen when we (parents) talk to them. I feel it is worth it to take every offer of help I can get on helping to keep my children and your safe.
Yes this is a corny video... My 2 boys still ask to watch it from time to time and they rememner what to do and what a stanger is when asked I just pray they remember if they ever are put in a bad situation...
I have all of Julie Clarks Baby E vids and feel that they helped both my children learn and get ahead of their age levels.
This film is certianly from the heart of all involved and if it saves one child then it is worth all that is put into it..
This is a must have kids video
Movie Review: Wonder Information Given in an Entertaining Way
Summary: 5 Stars
My 4 year old has wanted this DVD since he started seeing the commercials. We picked it up (and I might add, (...) wish I had seen it here first!). He has watched it at least 50 times in the first week we have owned it. This video is entertaining, and "Safe Side Super Chick" is very funny but full of great information. I wasn't sure how much my son was picking up; I thought maybe some of it would get embedded in his brain through constant watching and laughing. I was pleasantly surprised when a solicitor came to the door, and my son, who usually rushes to the door, stopped and waited for me! And when I opened the door and spoke to the person through the storm door, my son yelled, "I don't know you!" from behind my legs! We've had some great discussions since we got this DVD, and I intend to show it to my daughter's 4th grade girl scout troop. I hope John Walsh and Safe Side Super Chick do a few more of these videos on other safety topics.
