Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Eric Stevenson Barney was a big part of my childhood. Well, anti-Barney humor was a big part of my childhood. Yes, I was around when it first aired. I am so proud to say that it wasn't the first show I ever watched, as that would go to something like "Sesame Street" or "Mister Roger's Neighborhood". I don't know if this is even technically the first Barney movie. There may have been a few TV movies out there that came first. I don't care and don't want to watch them. I actually heard that even people who are Barney fans (yes, they exist) don't like this movie! A lot of things don't hold up as an adult and this is certainly one of them.Is this worth all the hate it gets? Yeah, pretty much. I guess I don't hate it as much as most people and everyone will go nuts that I didn't give this a 1/10. You could use the argument that it's just something for kids, but that's not an excuse. The shows I just mentioned were for kids and they still hold up today. The late 90's really was a dark time for movies. It's a pity no one on Channel Awesome has reviewed this yet. I think this actually isn't quite made fun of as much as "Twilight" or "The Phantom Menace". To be fair to those, this really is worse than them.The story just makes no sense. Baby Bop and BJ barely appear at all. Yeah, I'm not defending them. I'm just saying that the film could have had more variety if it had more than just Barney. They make a big deal about how the grandparents are going to see him. Everyone in the whole town saw him in public! Half of this movie is just spent looking for a lost egg. That's literally all that happens. Yeah, Barney does work in his trademark song at the end. There's much better stuff out there for your kids, but hey, this is still better than Carrot Top. *1/2
marchettilance As a father, I must say, I enjoyed this movie with our little daughter back in 2000! And my Wife and I still love it! There's just something about Mom & Dad sitting down to enjoy a good, morally-clean, fun family movie with kids! Barney beats most of the sub-culture trash movies out there that our little ones are forced to watch.Research has shown that movies and cartoons have a great impact on little minds. Indiscriminate TV watching has resulted in kids throwing tantrums, being disrespectful to authority, and lazy lay-a bouts that couldn't care less about helping around in the home. It all comes back to parenting! The kids become what the parents are. So if parents watch trash...the kids will think that's good for them too. Monkey see, monkey do. Barney helps keep trash out of the living room!If children see parents spending a few moments to pray together each day...their peace and contentment in life will be great. The film industry leaves much to be desired when looked at from this angle.-Lance Marchetti-South Africa
auburningram This movie is getting such terrible reviews, and I don't understand why! Is it cheesy? YES. Does it make complete and logical sense? OF COURSE NOT. Why? BECAUSE IT IS A BARNEY MOVIE. Like all episodes of Barney, they are extremely cheesy and predictable. This movie is like a really long episode of barney. What I liked most about it compared to regular barney shows, was that there was much less loud and kid-sung songs. My son is 2 1/2 years old and absolutely loves this movie. I would chose this movie any day over a regular episode of Barney. He follows the simple story-line very easily and finds it highly entertaining.All of these reviews are adults complaining that this movie is annoying and cheesy. But to a child, it's silly and joyful. This movie was not meant to capture an adult's sense of humor or attention. It's for kids! Kids enjoy this movie, and that's all that matters. Why is everyone so upset that THEY didn't like it? It's Barney, for pete's sake!!
