      Audience Member This is a silly made for TV kids movie, the story is bad, and the actors are too. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I understand that this was based on a story from Mark Twain, but it's a silly story and this movie probably doesn't do it justice. In the first place I was confused by the time jumping, is he a time traveler or not? It's not really clear, they just chalk it all up to magic and dreams or something like that. Plus, this is a TV movie, so it looks like it was made for TV. I wouldn't recommend watching this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
