This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Adeel Hail
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Fatma Suarez
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie Swindle is a good movie starting with a flash forward and then sets you in a story in which teenagers who are swindled ( To cheat a person, business, etc. out of money or other assets.) (definition form dictionary.com) by a man, ironically named Mr.Swindell, to sell him an, unknown to them yet, a 1.2 million dollar baseball card, which they spend the rest of the movie trying to get back (through some questionable methods like hacking, crashing a wedding and, yes, swindling. It's sort-of a more child friendly, light hearted version of Oceans 11 and a good movie over all made even better with great sets, writing, sound track and acting.

1.) I didn't know it was based on a book. Just knew it from watching Sam and Cat. 2.) I watched it cause I thought it was interesting, cool, and exciting in which case I was right. 3.) It wasn't boring. 4.) NOT a bad film adaption. Yeah, it's different. Sure, Ben didn't have his neurological sleep disorder(in which I correctly spelled yet it still says I misspelled it so that's why I wrote it like this). Anyway, it was a great movie for kids it was something new. 5.) Some people need to give this movie some slack. I get that it's different from the book, but it's what made the movie interesting(for me). 6.) The people from Nick (cast, production staff, everyone) did a good job at this. P.S. TO NICKELODEON, PLEASE MAKE THE SEQUELS. THANK YOU.

When I found out this movie was based on Swindle, I was excited. Gordon Korman is my favourite author. I knew the movie would be worse than the book, but I didn't think it would be that bad! First of all, his name is Ben SLOVAK, not Dupree. Ben is supposed to be narcoleptic, and he keeps a ferret in his shirt that bites him whenever he falls asleep. Also, Ben is supposed to have a gift for fitting in small spaces. Next, Savannah. Her name is Savannah DRYSDALE, not Westcott. Savannah is supposed to be an animal lover and a dog whisperer. Here, she's an actress. There is a character in the book named Logan Kellerman, who is supposed to be the actor. Melissa (Dukakis, not Bing) is not supposed to be Griffin's sister. Her name is ANTONIA Benson, not Amanda Benson. Antonia (with the nickname, "Pitch")is good at climbing, not gymnastics. Darren Vader is the school bully and is not part of the team. Finally, there is supposed to be a dog named Luthor who is one of the most important characters in the series. I was very disappointed with this movie.

This is a Nickledeon movie bringing together six of their stars three from past series and Ariana Grande who is on two current shows, Jeanette McCurdy on Sam and Kat, and Ciara Bravo on Big Time Rush, all three shows are ones that I do watch. I really enjoyed it because of the decent writing and acting. It is not the usual teen film with overt sexuality by under aged teens. Instead it is just a funny reverse con job on the name sake of the show, Swendell, just spelled a little different. As the show develops the six youngun's come up with an elaborate plot to get back an extremely pricey old time baseball card. The ensuing high jinxes, subplots and schemes make for an entertaining and funny movie. I must admit that I had no idea the the foreign thug and his two goons where going to turn out to be McCurdy's on screen dad and two other actors from his acting studio. A pretty neat turn in my opinion. The only thing I don't understand is why the inventor dad's arm didn't play a role in the end.
