Dale R A group of American soldiers need to get an elephant to a remote town during the Vietnam War. This movie has heart. It starts a little slow, but picks up after they find the elephant as character development and plot start moving forward. There were five soldiers in the main group. The ones played by Danny Clover and Denis Leary were well acted and I enjoyed. Doug E. Doug got in a few good lines, but he wasn’t given much to do. Corin Nemec was just there. He had few lines and I wondered why they even put his character into the movie. Maybe he had some scenes that were cut for time, but the movie is only about an hour and a half. Finally Ray Liotta’s character was the lead character and I didn’t connect with him at all. I did enjoy the relationship that the soldiers developed with the kid that was the elephant’s trainer. That is the real heart of this movie. The special effects had a lot of very noticeable green screens that didn't hold up, but I think this movie is worth a watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Audience Member A bland family comedy that has some okay acting and amusing moments but is a bit boring, has a peculiar backdrop that doesn't really strike me as a good introduction to talking to your children about the Vietnam War, boasts groan-worthy dialogue and the attempts to deal with themes of war and animal welfare clash with the goofy antics that involve shoving a hand up an elephant's ass, among other things. At least it's well-shot. But I wouldn't recommend this as "Baby's First "Apocalypse Now"".

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Bem bonitinho, pensei ter relação com o Dumbo, mas foi só um título oportunista, aquela mesma linha Disney, americanos heróis e fofinhos (ou não)que salvam o mundo de todo vilania existente… Mas sequestram um elefantinho de seu ‘habitat', para colocar no lugar de um que eles "ajudaram" a matar… O menininho rouba as cenas, e a lenda em torno do elefante é bem bonitinha… E no final, a informação de ser baseada em uma história real, do major Jim Morri para me deixar ainda mais derretida... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This Disney movie was pretty good. Danny Glover, Ray Liotta, Denis Leary, Doug E. Doug, Corin Nemec, and the rest of the cast did a good job in this movie. This true story was entertaining and dramatic. It's about keeping a promise and doing what is right for the good of the people. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you may enjoy it. That's what I think anyway. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review r 9 I don't think it's anything absolutely bad, but 'Operation Dumbo Drop' is pretty lacklustre and a bit slow to sit through. I do like the cast. Danny Glover (Cahill) and Ray Liotta (Doyle) are solid together, while Denis Leary (Poole) and Doug E. Doug (Ashford) may not give anything memorable but both are alright; as is Dinh Thien Le (Linh). Also interesting to see Raymond Cruz appear, in his early years pre-Tuco. It seems the trio of Glover, Liotta and Leary really don't rate this, given the latter's comments in later years about it; though it sounds like that's more to do with the filming process, rather than the end product. I more than likely wont be revisiting this any time soon, but I don't hate it or anything. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
