Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Mathster The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Bob 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.
usanationalist2004 I remember when I was 4 or 5, this was one of my favorite movies. I wish it was on DVD. It's been about 17 years since I have seen it, and I forget a lot about what happens, but I'll never forget the great song at the end. It's a wholesome kids movie unlike many movies these days and it tells a valuable lesson. If I remember correctly, this movie was played on the Disney Channel a lot. OUt of all the movies I saw as a kid, this one sticks out in my mind as one of the best. If you liked that show called Music for Kids, you will probably like this simply because of the great song at the end. If anyone knows where I can find this movie for purchase I'd like to know.
A_L_I_E_N89 This was my favorite movie when I was younger and waited for it to be on tv every year. Finally when I got older it was on tv once more and I managed to tape it. I highly recommend this to everyone who loves a good family film that has a great story, but without the added crap of "modern" swearing and violence. Just a simple story that's good enough for everyone to enjoy.
Jim Howard (hnbbs) I hate to admit that I like this movie. It is sweet, good, clean with no bad people and a story to tell..and something for us to all learn. A great movie for kids (I am 60 by the way.) A girl's father dies and she misses him a great deal. She pretends to be a boy to join a band.Gema Zamprogna plays Macki/Mac and does an excellent job. She seems so real and you don't feel that she is acting. All the kids in the movie seem to be very real to life. Gema was born in 1976 and the movie is listed as a 1989 TV movie. She seems younger in the movie.It seems that Canada turns out some excellent movies. I am not sure if government support of the arts has something to do with it or if they just try harder.Some movies make you feel good about life and about kids and this is one of them. Other movies are; "My Dog Skip", "The Mighty", "Bruno" and "ma Vie En Rose" and many others. If you have not seen "The Challengers" watch it with your kids or grand children. Feel good.
Stacy-18 I had never seen this movie up until about two months ago and now my life is complete. The only thing wrong with this movie is that they didn't put out a soundtrack. The song "I'll find My Way Home" is so inspirational and I would love to have a copy of it someday. Everyone should see this movie and become a Challenger!
