Freaktana A Major Disappointment

SnoopyStyle In NYC, Omri (Hal Scardino) gets a cupboard among other things on his 9th birthday. His friend Patrick gives him a plastic Indian. He puts the Indian in the cupboard and locks it overnight. The next morning, he finds the Indian figure actually alive. The Indian is an Iroquois named Little Bear who was fighting the French for the English in 1761. When Little Bear gets hurt, Omri reanimates WWI British Army medic Tommy Atkins (Steve Coogan) to treat him. Patrick figures out the secret and reanimates cowboy Boone (David Keith). This is a sweet kids movie. It has some fun stuff. Hal is really goofy looking and fits as a gawky kid. There isn't enough drama to interest the adults. This could be a good Twilight Zone episode. As a movie, it doesn't have the excitement or the adventure that this needs.

elshikh4 A horrible horror movie. And don't let that publicity fool you (the poster, the tagline, etc..). Aside from being the ultimate BORE, what possibly this could be? A philosophical flick about the deep brotherhood between humans, the greatness of philanthropy, the acceptance of fate's decisions, and the stupidity of making all of that cinematically too ! (Frank Oz) used to be the creative comic voice at the immortal (Muppet Show) and a good comedian occasionally as well, so what in god's name had happened ??? I've never felt of such suppressed provocation while watching a movie before; it's like bad flu, being imprisoned, or forced to be with the silliest creatures at all. On the poster, you'll read (An Adventure Comes to Life), well, apparently it dies again so fast. I think it's too gloomy and deadly slow (believe me it's one of the slowest) to be meant for children or else. Not to mention the scarily tasteless mood all over it. I still remember how the leaden sense of it bothered me for the whole day after watching. What could be more embarrassing than making a movie with good meanings that has no enjoyment, so wooden, and forces you to hate it? It might be useful only to punish your kids if they did something really wicked, however on second though that could be a little bit sadistic ! (The Indian in the Cupboard) ranks proudly as one of the worst 10 movies I've ever seen. And it's so sad that it's written by Melissa Mathison, the lady who wrote once E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982).

Ephesians60 This is a film that will entertain the whole family, there is no questionable subject matter in this film,your kids will enjoy this film to the maximum and want to watch it again and again. in Fact it is one you will want to buy for the home collection. I have seen this film Manny Manny times and every time I find new meanging in it. This film has many great life lessons in it for your kids. Please use this film to teach your kids about life and it,s wonderful nuance's. But at the same time do not take it to seriously it is after all a fantasy a story meant to entertain and amaze and that is what it dose for me.Enjoy Sean the Movie Guy

jotadasilvabaz The main plot of the film is excellent, as it is the development of the characters. The only true fault is the child. Hi is one of the worst child actors I have ever seen, and the close ups really don't help.I think the history is good. it's simple and emotive. if you think that they are just child's, sound pretty logical that they at first use the little people as toys. The don't understand the responsibility of have a human being in your charge. The Indian is wise for a man so young, but He is an Indian, right? He's supposed to be part of a wise people. I'd love the idea of the magic cupboard, and the scene with all the other characters: Darth Vader, Robocop, T-REX, etc. It was impressive.The dialogs are also pretty good.Make the film again with other child ;)
