      Reviews 38% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Despite the best efforts of the Widow Douglas (Jean Speegle Howard) to civilize him, Huck Finn (Ron Howard) remains largely incorrigible. When his alcoholic father (Dee Carroll) comes back to town and begins making trouble for him, Huck decides it's time to take off, and in running away bumps into a slave named Jim who's doing the same. Together they escape down the Mississippi River on a raft, and Huck warms to Jim enough to think he'd rather go to hell than ever turn in his friend. Read More Read Less

      Audience Member The funniest Ron Howard movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Adventure-seeking Huckleberry Finn rafts down the Mississippi River with a runaway slave. Like in television, Ron Howard gets more exposure than Donnie Most. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Mark Twain's enduring classic brought back to tv in 1975 by ABC with Ron Howard in the lead. Passable adaptation but by no means remarkable despite the credible cast and the Primetime Emmy win for "Outstanding Children's Special". Whatever made the novel special does not find its way to this production. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
