Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Kirpianuscus a film like a soup for soul. slow, delicate, wise, tender, nostalgic, wise story about a lost time, using the accuracy of small details for give roots to a film about fundamental truths, faiths and need of stability, love, miracles and importance of the family. an useful film. for rediscover Patrick Swayze in a role who seems be only for him. for the good acting of the children. for the dog. and, sure, for Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. the story is so simple than becomes one of viewer. the fruit of charity defined, in soft manner, Christian teachings.and the recreation of the spirit from a simple, modest but brave world is a precious gift for define the present reality. so, a beautiful film. a real beautiful one.

jazerbini It's a great movie. Did not claim to be, but it was very well prepared and contains a very strong message and unusual. If an analysis of the film from the point of view of psychoanalysis, possibly conclude that the film shows nothing more than the desires of each family member. Just that. Are dreams that help support the reality. The role played by Swayze reminds me gunslinger Shane, a character from the magnificent film directed by George Stevens, who was the angel savior, the redeemer, the expected stranger who comes, does its job and disappears.Reconstitution of 40 and 50 is high quality and the atmosphere created in addition to the excellent performance of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio elevates this film to a level not imagined, I believe, by their makers. Very good.

FourInTheFamily This movie was billed as "fun for the whole family" -- NOT. It was awful. The setup/beginning of the movie has a lot of great possibilities. But it just gets stranger and stranger as the time goes on.A "Family friendly" movie DOES NOT include sunbathing in the nude, implied relations between mom and a drifter, cancer/deadly disease for the little brother, flying around in the sky, and losing your business and home as an adult. Depressing and weird.My 6 and 8 year old may not have picked up on some of the innuendos but from age 72 to age 6 we all hated it.

narratus The wonderful thing about this movie is that the feel of the 1950's cookie cutter lifestyle is iconic and authentic without all of the gritty realism. For a fantasy, it's fantastic in scope, well written, and well acted. The perfect movie for a box of tissues and an evening with your daughter or your girlfriends. It's a good kid-family movie as well. It immediately requires you suspend your jaded new-millennium lifestyles and your disbelief in all things magic. I caught this on tbs today and loved it. I think it's the only other movie with the boy from the Jurrassic Park franchise I've ever seen.My favorite portion was how the younger boy gets to enjoy *his* wish.
