Audience Member I love the movie and its stupid and off the wall comedy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a fun movie for me as a kid, but looking back at it, the movie wasn't very good, but had a good story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie info provided is completely wrong. This was the most inaccurate movie I have ever seen. THere were literally like 100+ differences. For example, the main character, Johnny Dorsett, was renamed Andrew and looks completely different than described. He supposed to be a red head with freckles but was a blonde boy with rosy cheeks. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A very funny movie made for everyone to enjoy from a short story, to a black and white movie now to this! Ransom of Red chief will always be my heart Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange and funny, but weird Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie! Haley Joel Osment at his best and cutest. Great cast, and funny as heck. Good family movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
