Nell Minow Common Sense Media A wonderful, magical movie. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Breezy and likable, and vigorously committed to being the best version it can be of the very offbeat and random thing it is. Rated: 3/5 Aug 24, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 27, 2005 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Denton Record-Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2005 Full Review Cheryl DeWolfe Apollo Guide Rated: 74/100 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not enough diversity in the cast. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It's "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" for men. But it lacks the charm and heart of the former. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched this movie all the time when I was a kid and went back and watched it a couple of years ago. Still hasn't lost it's touch and is surprisingly magical. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Great! A fantastic and unforgettable film. Fresh. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member More stereotypes than you can shake a pinata stick at. Much of the performances and songs are in your face, mugging it up. But the use of close-ups is very careful and the editing is musical and flowing even when the songs and score are grating. Clifton Collins Jr. is the most sincere and the best of the group, since his expressions and voice convey that he believes, seeing through the hijinks, in all the others. For me, this fable doesn't conjure up real magic except that you never see the other shoe drop. Anything that might bring the fall from bliss is held beyond the frame without any foreshadowing even. The people don't fight over the suit; it's not rent between them in acrimony; and their camaraderie never succumbs to individual greed or selfishness. The story revolves around the strange idea that a single new object could enter a person's life and convert him/her to brimming pride, complete trust in fate, and celebration of one's imminent opportunities, one's daily surroundings and the life of all humankind. Visionary pre-credit animated sequence. Very bad video cover, and a lot of this movie felt almost that exasperating, but by the end, it gets across the magic of a certain kind of optimism in the face of the unknown. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice telling of the wonderful Ray Bradbury short story about dreams and aspirations of peasants who find a way to l'be someone else' if for only an hour. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
