what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

AH HA HA HA HA.you need to watch this. it is hilariously bad (errmm i mean exceptional). oh my gosh the script writer was so wrong, i mean, listen to some of the things that come out of these kids mouths. so so so so good. like listen to this : "uncle gus told me not to touch it, sammie told me not to touch it, but i touched it, can we blow it". and "3 miles, that'll take us all day and half the night". as well as, wait i would not want to spoil it. i would recommend: shark boy and lava girl, if you liked this movie. but who wouldn't right. the soundtrack is also amazing. right here, here and now ow. there's only one thing left to do. right here here and now ow.

I realized how lucky I am by the experiences during the movie. It was definitely worth the pizza, and I am glad I had the opportunity to watch this wonderful movie. The actors were terrific, and I felt they acted as if they were all in real danger. The scenes are just flat out amazing. The scenes in the movie are not predictable at all. I was actually wrong with my guess, and the directors really fooled me. This movie is for any age, and I encourage everyone to take time to watch this with their family or roommates. The kids will love it!!! I hope with a few years there will be a Durango Kids 2 so I can sit down and take the time to watch this movie with my roommates. Whenever I have problems, I just turn to this movie to see how the kids face their adversity. I would recommend this movie to anyone, and also would like to thank Pizza Hut. Thanks!

This is pretty much the greatest work of art ever committed to cinema. Think otherwise, and I will fight you. I sh** you not, I will throw down RIGHT now....Okay, okay, I'm sorry. That wasn't called for. I mean, I haven't been emotionally moved by a movie about time travel like this since I last saw The Notebook on mushrooms (that was about time travel, right?). Or maybe I'm just confusing The Notebook with the film version of A Separate Peace (which was fantastic, by the way. Particularly the scene with the tree limb being "jounced").Anyways, more to the point, Taylor Root is pretty much the BEST actor ever. His sheer ability to identify with the complexity of the human condition transcends him beyond the other acting greats of our era such as Oedipus, Steven Seagal, Hillary Duff, Eminem and Keanu Reeves.And, don't tell anyone this, but..... I know Taylor Root. Like, he and I went to high school together. There was this one time, in 10th grade, where this colostomy bag named Brian Condon (we call him Sh**face, and rightfully so) was like, "Taylor, now listen, I don't appreciate you coming over to my boathouse and mocking my small dog that sort of looks like an enormous rat, but still is RIDICULOUSLY cute." Then, out of nowhere, Taylor just busts out an ATV that was actually used in the making of Durango Kids and just smacks Brian in the a** RIDICULOUSLY hard. Brian was in a ridiculous amount of pain. He looked like this, but only worse and with an ATV hitting him in the a**: http://community.webshots.com/photo/308932448/362577779MxLDhj Moral of the story being, John Brian Condon is a little bitch and should really not talk so much sh**, particularly in regards to the Durango Kid.

I enjoyed this film because it reminded me of the stories I used to love when I was a kid. There was plenty of action, a couple of fist fights, the kids got captured by the crooks and then turned the tables on the villains who got their just deserts. Reminds me of the old "ripping Yarns" stories. The acting by the kids was natural and seamless - showed a quality of training. Well done! I'd like to see more stories like this for youngsters. Many childrens films pull the punches to be politically correct and lose something of the magic of story telling. This one didn't make that mistake. I'm surprised i haven't heard of it before this video release. I haven't got any real negative comments to make - for what it was, the film was well done.
