    Awesome Film

    This movie is a wonderful fun film that showcases the talents of the young actors in the film. It has a wonderful script and the action sequences are chilling. Durango Kids reminds me of all my adventures as a child.

    A Life Changer!

    I realized how lucky I am by the experiences during the movie. It was definitely worth the pizza, and I am glad I had the opportunity to watch this wonderful movie. The actors were terrific, and I felt they acted as if they were all in real danger. The scenes are just flat out amazing. The scenes in the movie are not predictable at all. I was actually wrong with my guess, and the directors really fooled me. This movie is for any age, and I encourage everyone to take time to watch this with their family or roommates. The kids will love it!!! I hope with a few years there will be a Durango Kids 2 so I can sit down and take the time to watch this movie with my roommates. Whenever I have problems, I just turn to this movie to see how the kids face their adversity. I would recommend this movie to anyone, and also would like to thank Pizza Hut. Thanks!

    Mediocre at best

    This movie would have been bearable otherwise,but the kids' acting is reminiscent of a hastily produced school play, especially the fat black kid, who seems to be enjoying the camera rather than being in his character.(By the way, he got entirely too much screen time). Austin Nichols (Sammy)was believable and sincere and did a lot to salvage this feeble attempt at entertainment. What's so cool about assaulting innocent adults on a tourist train. Is that adventure? The forced tears in the jail scene was almost unbearable. Might entertain your small children, but wouldn't recommend it otherwise. Glad I got it free as a pizza premium and didn't waste money on it. Blurb on the DVD jacket seems to compare this movie with HOLES and SPY KIDS........I don't think so.

    6 and younger only... do not watch with your kids!

    Not a lie... the worst movie I have ever seen. Hands down. In fact, you have to watch it just to see how bad it is. Don't get mislead by the first twenty minutes... that is when they were putting effort into the story and directing and it looked like it was going somewhere. You will see it start to slowly fall apart once they get on the train. My 5 year old liked it. I'm guessing that when he hits kindergarten, this movie won't get touched. And, no, I didn't get the pizza. My cousin got the pizza and pawned the movie off on me. At least it was free.

    The positive comments were either put up here by people involved in the movie or they are just trying to get you to watch it.

    Do it.

    I dare you. Smell the sour milk.

    A good action film for kids

    I enjoyed this film because it reminded me of the stories I used to love when I was a kid. There was plenty of action, a couple of fist fights, the kids got captured by the crooks and then turned the tables on the villains who got their just deserts. Reminds me of the old "ripping Yarns" stories. The acting by the kids was natural and seamless - showed a quality of training. Well done! I'd like to see more stories like this for youngsters. Many childrens films pull the punches to be politically correct and lose something of the magic of story telling. This one didn't make that mistake. I'm surprised i haven't heard of it before this video release. I haven't got any real negative comments to make - for what it was, the film was well done.
