A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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

I give this movie a 5 because it is really really really really funny!But it is filled with horrible actors/actresses, not to mention the directing could have been done better by a pet rock. Like I said the movie is extremely funny, it is full of corny things that don't make any sense. After you watch it it leaves you wondering if they made it that corny on purpose or do the film makers just suck. Being a filmmaker myself it takes a lot for me to call a movie crappy. But that WAS CRAAAPYY, or it was a cometic gem you don't know. I suggest renting it and watching it with a bunch of your friends. I would make for a wonderful mystery space theadre type of thing. Also if you have any gateway drugs lying around use them before your screening. I guess you would have to call this movie a b-kids adventure.

A delightful and insightful film that will enthrall children of all ages. I watched this wonderful flick with my daughter Hayley and she couldn't look away or stop giggling. I've lost count of how many times she re-watched the dvd since we first brought it home. Rarely does a small independent film touch the heart as well as FLYIN RYAN. Set in a small town filled with great kids and funny animals, the fantastic story is almost universal and will engage even the youngest of viewers. And it's so rare to find a children's movie that doesn't speak down to them or cater to baser interests with off-color jokes. I totally recomend this beautiful warm-hearted picture to everyone and their families.

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.
