Cooper and the Castle Hills Gang

Castle Hills, a community just a few minutes north of Dallas,Texas, is a unique and special place and this movie is a unique and special way to tell the world about it. The movie was planned as a community experience that allowed residents to participate as cast and crew, and it showcases the aspects of how people live, work and play in Castle Hills. Families get to know each other there, kids ride their bikes to the school in the heart of neighborhood and friends come together on the plaza…especially when it comes time to solve a mystery, like lead character Cooper does in this movie! "Cooper & the Castle Hills Gang" premiered at the 2011 Dallas International Film Festival as part of the festival's Family Day events. It is a fun, family movie and tells a great story.

This is a great family movie. My grandkids have watched it several times and enjoyed it every time. And I enjoy the soundtrack. It's a fun movie with a positive message about sticking together to get something done. It also sends a good message about people of different generations working together. It is a great idea to use the community as a backdrop and all of the people who live there as extras, cast and crew. If you live locally, it's also fun to drive around the community, or "movie set," and see all of the places it was filmed. It's great entertainment for the whole family and I recommend it!
