Adventure Scouts (2010)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Powerful

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

99 times out of a hundred, my husband and I are disappointed in the children's films we rent for our chitlins. In one way or another, the content becomes either extremely wacky or there are scenes we would prefer our little pups not to see. Moreover, before we rented the film we read the reviews and the marks for the qualtiy...and we weren't enthusiastic about taking the risk. With that being said, the kids seemd to enjoy the movie, my husband liked seeing a couple of his NFLers playing roles and I coughed-up a few laughs myself. There were a couple slower moments than the rest of the movie, but no movie's perfect. I will probably end-up buying the movie because my kids have already asked to rent it again, soooooooooo, 8 out of 10 is my overall grade.

I rented this movie because we saw the movie Dolphin Tale and there were a couple comments about the actor Fitzpatrick that played Sawyer's uncle, so we rented it and the kids loved it. It was very pro-friendship with life lessons for all. Personally, this movie probably appeals best for ages 4-12, or for any kid that is a part of the Boy Scouts of America, or Girl Scouts of America. My husband liked it because he knew some of the Professional Football players in the movie, that were a part of the Motorcycle gang. So, overall it was good family film, with some hidden innuendos for adults.

Every now and again if you're lucky to be in the right locale at the right time of the day, your fortune is to be entertained by American flickers that reveal characteristics and story lines that smack American. This flicker is definitely one of those gems. My mum and pop always bring us to the states for holiday tours during our torrid summers to deliver us a break from the torrential downpours in GB.Sadly, it has been storming here in Orlando Florida for weeks. So my new good friend Raven, suggests we watch a flicker that she viewed several years ago. This flicker. I remembered viewing this flicker years ago in GB, whilst I was a tad and now again, that I am a tween. The scout in the main role was very cute and I am sure quite cute to this day. We thoroughly honked during the villainous motorcycle group was on the screen. All in all this entertaining flicker proved to be very cheery.

So, I took my kids to see Dolphin Tale and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a beautiful movie with lots and lots of heart, we all cried for winter and the little boy. The actor that played the little boy (Nathan Gamble) was amazing. Dolphin Tale reminded me a lot of a couple of my other favorite animal movies. There were also quite a few actors I recognized in the movie that had several roles in supporting positions. I saw Frances Sternhagen that played the sheriff's wife in Misery with Kathy Bates (whom I adore as an actress). And then I see an actor from my soap All My Kids named James Fitzpatrick, (whom was also in Dolphin Tale). So, I do a little research on the IMDb and find out that James (All My Kids) too, has worked with Kathy Bates, in a movie titled Curse of the Starving Class, also starring James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr. and the actor from ET.(that played the little boy).But then I noticed that James Fitzpatrick (All My Kids) is in this movie Adventure Scouts, when we watch the movie clip. My girls would like to see this cute looking movie.Great job actors.
