2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

fivexchamps A movie so steeped in virtue it's breathtaking. An absolute American masterpiece that enriched the lives of all that had the honor to view it.

jarred-davis59 this movie was just horrible it was so fake like most of the hunting scenes it was daylight and they tried to say it was night time its just didn't work.Take the fight scene with the mountain lion it was just a stuffed mountain lion and was just so fake.This movie was just a waste of time it was useless and a scar on the movie world it deserves what dirty rating they get.There were a few good scenes but not many when he got his dogs it was cute but billy overreacted when he gently pull the pups ears it was to rile billy up and it worked like a charm billy wanted to fight him after he touched his dogs ears.all around this movie was a horrible one and shouldn't be watched it shouldn't exist the book was 2000000 times better so there's my piece

jdbaseballdude13 While this movie (in my opinion) is touching in the way that any young child has to learn the ways of life the hard way - working hard to earn his/her wants, I think the acting of Billy in the movie was very dry and it was hard to really become interested in the character. It's an older movie that has something to relate to, so I believe that this is the perfect film for a younger person to watch. It gives you the mindset of the simplicity of the way things were way back when, and for a short amount of time you're forced to question the morality of the family in the film. I think most of the acting in this movie was very dry; especially after the tragic (spoiler) death of Billy's hound dogs. I was expecting the parents to have sympathy, but they were more interested in heading back inside, so I felt like it should have had a different outcome.

nsandahl This was a good movie, a young boy works for 2 coon dogs and they happen to be the best coon dogs ever, don't listen to this lady calling it "gay" she is clearly retarded,the only thing i didn't like was that the night scene were shot in the day time. This movie is also sad and has a good story to it. This movie shows how the old times used to be and how much respect kids have towards older people and kids had to work for things they wanted and money was super tight, kids didn't have there parents buy them everything they wanted, and this movie shows exactally that, defiently worth watching again and is very inspiring for anyone.
