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.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
How to make 90 minutes out of getting a kid out of a pit? Ask the director. I've seen it on TV and had nothing better to watch. It was so annoying that at some point it became funny. Spoiler Alert! The obstacles of getting the kid out were GOD AWFUL, seriously. If you want to rescue someone, you do it in 10 minutes. Horrible and hilarious.The story was so badly written, they had to make a 5 minutes scene in one and a half hour. I honestly think you need real talent to make such an awful film.
Could have been a good movie but I was hoping the kid in the well would die because he was so irritating and such a terrible "actor". The kid destroyed this movie. The kid talked like a 2 year old spoiled brat and I hoped the well would collapse. The boys mother was almost as bad and Guttenberg was the only one that had an ounce of ability. The other guy is almost as bad as the kid. Smartest thing they did was send down the toy truck in to the well to keep the kid quiet, his voice and baby talk was worse than finger nails on the chalk board. Only thing that could have made the movie better is if his mother fell in with him. The grandfather was probably the best actor in the movie, he didn't speak too much and sound like a complete idiot.
The story obviously had potential. Your typical tragedy/thriller with a few twists, heart tugs, etc.There's one thing this movie lacked: Good acting.The acting was on the level of a porno, maybe one step above it.Other thoughts.I'm not sure why the husband was yelling the whole movie. I couldn't stop laughing, at first I thought it was a comedy skit.This is what happens when you read a review on blockbuster that says a movie was good. It had to be a paid poster or someone associated with the movie.The kid's speech impediment was driving me crazy.This movie would not make the USA network. That's how bad it was. It *might* make Lifetime for a unpaid movie.This movie made my top 10 list of all time worst movies.
Are you on drugs or something? This has to be one of the worst films ever made. Poor acting combined with a stupid story makes this 90 minutes wasted of your life...absolutely laughable at times.The kid who falls down the hole should be left there for one of the worst acting performances of all time. The fireman trying to rescue the boy was like an American version of Frank Spencer, all that was missing was the beret and rain mac.The arguing parents have the solution, by sending the toy car down the hole to amuse the stranded lad...they would have been better sending down a "beginners guide to acting" book.View this movie, only if you want a good laugh.
