BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

makahla_pearson Where the red fern grows is the best movie ever, and i think its enjoyable for anyone. It was always my favorite movie when i was growing up and always will be. I don't understand how anyone couldn't like it and if you don't then screw you :)Billy lives on a farm. He wants two good coon hounds very badly, but his Papa cannot afford any. Billy works hard, selling fruit and bait to fishermen, so eventually he has enough money for the dogs. I think it also shows how much times have changed, because back in the day they worked for what they wanted and now its nothing like that and most people get things handed to them and never work a day in there life.

alpurl I'm hoping that this doesn't spoil it much, if at all, but...If this flick doesn't make you shed at least one tear, one has to wonder, did you cry when Old Yeller died? It's been a coon's age since I've seen this movie or read the book. But, it's one of my favorites, and will forever remain there.It's pretty much the classic tale of childhood, love, faith, and loyalty. But, that's where it ends.This isn't about childhood lifelong love in the sense of boy vs girl.Billy is a young boy who sees an ad for hunting dogs. He spends a year saving up for the pups, and travels a long distance alone on foot to get the dogs. This trip alone is an adventure, but not the center of the story.Billy trains the pups, Old Dan, and Little Anne to be coon dogs, for hunting raccoons. This is the beginning of their escapades.The love and bond between the three, Billy, Old Dan, and Little Anne, shows throughout the movie. Near the end of the movie, you see just how strong it is when the two dogs make the ultimate sacrifice.The tail end of the movie will leave you in tears and thinking of the original legend of the Red Fern.In my belief, it's a MUST-SEE movie, but is well worth it.I love it, and hope the new one is at least as good as the original. I haven't seen the one for 2003 yet.

gregb-12 We saw this one last night after my wife rented it from the local library. Making fun of it was a hoot! It really should have been on MST3K with Mike & the Bot's.A good sleeper if you want to have some fun...

the_last_shadow_2000 this movie was very old when my students and i watched it in the fourth grade after reading the novel. The first few minutes go really slow and then about thirty minutes in the movie it starts to get really great. I believe the only thing wrong was that some of the acting was poor. I give this movie a **-out of-*** !!!
