kdgg05 This is simply the most God awful garbage I have ever seen. I might deem myself an expert on Flyin Ryan, for I have seen it more than thirty times. The story is about a kid who moves to the middle of no where, for no reason, and gets picked on immediately by this chubby no good kid named Dirk (and his skateboard crew). Ryan gets chased by him, which leads to one of the best chase scenes ever created (yes, even better than Bullet) which involves moon physics, tennis balls, a karate teacher jumping over a moving motorcycle, dune-buggies, and, lets not forget most importantly, RYAN CAN FLY BECAUSE OF HIS MAGIC SHOES. Ah yes, this movie was completely funded by Heelies®, the shoe company as seen throughout the movie. But this movie, on Paper looks terribly exciting. Unfortunately, with a mere $300, and a video camera, you reading this could have made a better movie. None of the actors featured in this cinema have gone on to be in any movies since, and if they haven't committed suicide yet, they will within the next five years. This movie is the real reason why Siskel from Siskel & Ebert died.

wackynightmare2003 this movie sucked!! it was so fake, it had the worst actors in it ever..and it was the biggest waste of time movie. it reminded me of the crappy-made, made-for-TV, indie films that only get shown once because they suck so bad. i think Ryan deserved to get beat up by dirk, because he such a little wuss. they at least could have gotten actors that had some talent. the director must have been really desperate enough to use Andy Weiss as Ryan. and oh god, don't even get me started on Nicki. she is the flakiest, wannabe happy-go-lucky nerd i have ever seen. dirk was the worst bully ever, he's not tough, he's just a fat spoiled brat. i say, NEVER WATCH THIS MOVIE..ITS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

johnsonwiese FLYIN' RYAN is awesome. Every kid wants to fly, especially when the bullies are after him. In this movie, Ryan (a red-haired kid) moves with his mom up to a country house owned by his great aunt. The house might be haunted. At least that is what Ryan's crazy old great aunt thinks. But haunted houses don't bother Ryan as much as the group of local skateboard bullies. The lead of the bullies, Dirk, is a tough, but funny, short kid.Dirk has it out for the new kid and he and his buddies hassle him and push him into the lake. A local girl, Nicki (she's really cute) becomes Ryan's friend.When Dirk steals Ryan's dog. Ryan has to fly over the lake and rescue the dog at the goldmine.THE GOLDMINE is AWESOME.Funny and filmed in a small town with lots of animals, Flyin' Ryan is great for kids.

llwriting Every kid wants to fly. In FLYIN' RYAN 12 year old Ryan is always moving to different towns with his mother. Bullys are always after him. When he gets a magic pair of shoes he is able to fly, getaway from the bullys and save his dog. His best friend is a really cute girl and she joins in the adventure.Flyin' Ryan is terrific for kids. And the skateboarding is fun to watch. The fantasy of flying is always great. And my kids love watching it over and over because it is funny and the young actors are good. The little dog is fantastic.The small town feel of the movie and the unusual locations like a goldmine are great. Flyin' Ryan is a great find and perfect for young kids. Highly recommend it.
