Movie Reviews of Where the Red Fern Grows
Movie Review: refer to M. Jensen attrocious comments
Summary: 5 Stars
You either have no emotion or you didn't watch the movie properly, how could you say it has no storyline? This movie brilliantly captured what it means to love, in the beginning if you listened, the title was explained at the dinner table by the youngest child who refered to a drawing she did of a red fern of that being from a story the grandfather *(shop owner) told her of two indian lovers who died next to each other as a result of the bitter snow, when their bodies were found there was a red fern growing between them, which signified true love.
The boy is told by his grandfather that should he truly want something he has to meet God half way, he works hard and earns a plenty sum which allows for him to buy his pup coonhounds.
After lengthy training they become the best coonhounds around.
When one attempts to save the boy from being attacked by a Cougar it is so badly injured it dies, the other hound so heartbroken literally dies lying beside the grave of her brother.
It is then at the end this story gives the viewer a lump in the throat and as previously mentioned by the beginning where the story is told of the red fern, does this take on its true impact.
Highly commended for the storyline.
Highly commended for the acting.
Highly commended for being one true family classic no home should not have in it, to remind everyone that sometimes you just need a good old movie once in a while, instead of the sleazy crap that floods our screens of today.
Movie Review: Should have been a theatrical release first.
Summary: 5 Stars
Who's running Disney marketing. I loved this film. It is a classic Americana family film the should have been shown in the theatres first during Christmas before going to DVD. With the Millions who have read the book over the past 35 years (book Number 2 of all times for 35 years) and the 30 Million plus Dave Matthews fans, it was destined to be a huge box office hit. What would Walt think about Disney not releasing this film to theatres if he were alive? Disney let this one slip right through their fingers. There was magic between Joseph Ashton (Billy Coleman) and Dabney Coleman (Grandpa). They both did a great acting job, and Dave Matthews did great his first time out. With music classics in the same film like Mac Davis, Kris Kristofferson, and Dave Matthews, there should have been a theme song done by the three. Disney marketing did a grave diservice to a great classic film!Movie Review: Davis Grimsley's Movie Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi, my name is Davis Grimsley. I'm in my teens and haven't seen many movies. One of the best movies is Where the Red Fern Grows. I would give it five stars.
One of the main points in the plot is when Billy gets Little Ann and Old Dan. Some of the main characters are Billy, Old Dan, Little Ann, Mama, Papa, and Grandpa.
I think this movie is great, and it can't be better. I think it is great because the Red Fern symbolizes the true meaning of love and care. I think it was superior how Little Ann and Old Dan stayed together NO matter what happened.
I think the theme is "God helps those who help themselves." What that means is if you help yourself, God will do the rest. I think that is the theme because Billy prayed for the tree to fall and, it did!!
Movie Review: This was a GREAT movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie!! It is a great family movie.. I can't wait until my sisters kids see this movie! I just know they are going to love it..
And what is with everyone saying this was a bad movie? There are so many great actor's in it.. Ned Beatty, Dabney Coleman & Kris Kristofferson..
And Dave Matthews was great in it! I love him as a singer. I have ALL of his CD's. and I think he is going to be a GREAT actor..
And I can't wait to see "Because of Winn-Dixie".
Well thats all I have to say! I hope you would buy it and see for yourself if it is good!
BYE NOW....
Movie Review: Fantastic!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh my gosh!! I just finished watching this movie and I am still
crying my eyes out! It's so sad. Whenever I think about it I start to tear up. It is a great movie, but really sad. I loved it. I have never read the book, but I'm planning to read it some time soon. I cry over alot of sad stories about animals, espesially things about dogs. I will never forget this movie. It's amazing! THe only thing I didn't like about it was that the acting wasn't all that great.
