The Worst Film Ever
Sorry, this movie sucks
Memorable, crazy movie
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Tommy Tricker & the Stamp Traveller is an original film based on a child who can travel across the world on stamps. I haven't seen it since I was younger, but I remember that I enjoyed it, although it was quite frightening. I think it is a very imaginative film. (The basic plot of the film was about this young boy who was a stamp collector, and he could travel by putting himself onto stamps with a little bit of magic.) I remember that my brothers enjoyed this film too, although there were some very frightening bits in the film, and I seem to remember that the special effects were good. (Tommy being transfered to the stamp or from the stamp.)
well this has to be one of my favourite movies, its such a fun and enjoyable movie for all. I really love Tommys persona. The movie is about a 3 friends Ralph, Tommy, and the lovable Nancy (who Tommy falls for in the return of Tommy Tricker). Its starts of with Tommy stealing Ralphs grandparents stamps, then the gang realise that the old tale of the stamp is true and Tommy and Ralph travel the world for certain stamps. This movie is great for younger children, but the whole family could easily enjoy it. If you like kiddy adventures this movie probably is with the Goonies and the sandlotkids. This movie is one of my favourites.
Tommy Tricker & The Stamp Traveler is hands down one of the most delicious movies I have ever seen. Ralph and Nance are an amazing brother and sister pair, taking on the dirty, underbelly of the underground (doubly crass and dangerous!), Canadian Stamp World -- chasing after Blue Noses and Penny Victorias like madmen in Keds. The IMDb description isn't quite accurate, in that Tommy Tricker is most definitely not Ralph's "best friend" at the beginning of the story, but by the finale, you could correctly call them modern day Bosom Buddies. Albert's voice is amazing, especially when he is making reference to Tommy's dad being a bum. His "real dad"! This movie effectively gets kids riled up to collect stamps. We learn that stamps = the coolest adventure of one's life, should one decide to take on the call of duty. Don't lose Dad's Man on the Mast though, or he'll totally tear down your club house and have you falling down Tommy's ghetto stairs just to try and get it back!
Good show for children up to early adolescent. Interesting story line and catchy tunes. We have rented this film many times.
