Summary: 3 Stars
Well, when I was a kid you had the Hardy Boys, but by the 90s even the updated Hardys (no more tooling around in 'roadsters') were pretty passe. TOY SOLDIERS has been described as a teen version of DIE HARD, and filmmaker Daniel Petrie was certainly savvy enough to realize that since it was largely that very age group that was responsible for the success of high action films starring macho actors approaching (if not already well into) middle age, how could he go wrong if he adhered to the basic formula but made his heroes rebellious teens instead of wiseacre adults?
And for what it is, it does work. Younger viewers are not likely to realize how derivative and formulaic this movie about terrorists taking over a private school for rebellious kids really is. TOY SOLDIERS is definitely a teen film for the 90s (and beyond) in its relatively frank use of profanity, casual mentions of masturbation and its depiction of a prank phone call to an adult service. Contemporary teens will likely find this an "authentic" touch. Their parents may be surprised--and some a bit disconcerted--to see how far beyond the Hardy Boys we've come. Frank and Joe never used the "F" word.
But some things never do change, and the film's basic appeal to young viewers is the same as that of boys' action adventure tales from time immemorial. Or at least as long as there have been boys' action adventure stories. The fantasy of kids being able to competently and heroically maneuvre in the adult world will always hold an appeal for younger audiences. Hey, movies about rebel teens being able to put one over on the headmaster are cool enough. But when they can subdue a gang of terrorist thugs, hey, that's waaay cool.
Movie Review: where are they now?
Summary: 3 Stars
i love this movie. but watching only begs the question, where is keith coogan now? and why hasn't he made any more movies? and most importantly, why did two of his best movies include the word "babysitter" in them? i also have to ask myself, what the hell happened to wil wheaton? i know, i know, he's got that internet blog now. have you seen his last few movies? perhaps it's better that keith coogan is out of site. but i'll tell you what, my friends, he's not out of mind. those two contribute to my favorite scene in this movie. keith coogan sneezes and wil wheaton comes out and says, gazoontite. watch it, if only for that scene.
most of all, i guess i just think about sean astin and i'm glad he's got lord of the rings now. because as ridiculous as this movie is, and believe me i do love it, sean astin is such an underrated actor. he's seriously really good.
Movie Review: This movie rocks!
Summary: 3 Stars
I would describe this movie as Die Hard but with teenagers.
It is a bit a cheesy,then again the movie was made in 1991.
Despite that this is a movie ONE MUST OWN!! I mean come on it's got Wil Wheaton,Sean Astin(who has become my most favorite actor by the way, you should all read his book There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale) and the dude who was in Adventure's in Babysitting(love that movie too).
This movie is loads of fun, it's one of those movies you watch with a bunch of your friends while eatin' pizza.
I just watched this movie and I am proud to now have this movie in my DVD collection.
