backto1-2 This movie was very enjoyable to watch. The acting was very good. This movie should be watched by the whole family. It's a wonderful family movie that parents and their kids can watch together. I liked how the film has an underlying theme about bullying where the bullied kid used friendship to win over his bullies and became friends. This was a fun movie that my nephew & niece watched over & over again. The writing was clever and fun. For a indie film, I thought the movie was well done. The kid who played the lead Cory did a great job and his parents did a great job as well. I liked how the kids took matters into their own hands and saved Cory's father from the mobsters. It showed how kids can be friends. i thought it was very funny that the local mobsters and there were only 3 of them mistook the father, Joe to be a henchman from another mob gang from the East coast when he was actually an insurance salesman. The father & mother were positive role models in the way they showed their son how to make friends w/bullies in his class.

karriebw Surprisingly fun film! Lots of clever lines and good surprises in this family film. The family in it is very likable - and seem like they could be a family on one of the TV comedy shows. The father, mother and young son all have a vulnerability that is charming and endearing. They seem real and believable. Moving to a new town is always challenging - and here we follow the family that gets into trouble - but in a different way than we've seen before. The father- son relationship is also quite good. It shows caring but not sappiness. When the boy gets attacked by bullies, it could be even stronger - but seems like they wanted to keep it lighthearted all the way through. It's unusual to see a comedy film that tries to end with a message about "stopping bullying" - but this one does it with funny twists and turns rather than making it shocking and sad. Overall, have to say many lines were laugh-out- loud, and the young actors did a really good job. For a small film with no name actors, everyone did commendable acting and made it work as a nice family comedy. Had the flavor of a "Home Alone" or "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Enjoyed it with the kids. Definitely laughed out loud in a number of places.

artistgp I was excited to check this film out because you don't often see family movies coming out of the independent film world. The story is clever and endearing and the production value is great. You'll be surprised how quickly you get wrapped up in the world of the crazy yet relatable little town (key being that all towns are crazy to some degree). While family films aren't my normal viewing practice there's nothing wrong with giving the thriller/drama/horror genres a break for one night while you enjoy some good family fun. I think you'll be surprised how good of a time you'll have.

Mark Thornton I'll admit, this isn't the kind of movie I normally watch, but I ended up really enjoying it. It takes on the subject of bullying without being preachy. I feel like the film makers really added a fresh perspective, and the final product is top tier. This really is one the whole family can enjoy. Kids will get the jokes, and there's enough humor in there with a wink and a nudge that the grown- ups will enjoy, too. The premise of the movie itself is hilarious, and the writing never fails to deliver the laughs. And smart casting choices meant that the actors can actually pull off the punch lines! Perfect for a rainy evening in with the whole family.
