Durango Kids

AH HA HA HA HA.

you need to watch this. it is hilariously bad (errmm i mean exceptional). oh my gosh the script writer was so wrong, i mean, listen to some of the things that come out of these kids mouths. so so so so good. like listen to this : "uncle gus told me not to touch it, sammie told me not to touch it, but i touched it, can we blow it". and "3 miles, that'll take us all day and half the night". as well as, wait i would not want to spoil it. i would recommend: shark boy and lava girl, if you liked this movie. but who wouldn't right. the soundtrack is also amazing. right here, here and now ow. there's only one thing left to do. right here here and now ow.

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.

Keeganv is the only one with his head on straight here. In addition to the great things keeganv mentioned, not only were the casting choices inspired and superb, but the crying scenes with Spencer Gray were emotionally powerful. I'm talking stuff that rivals the final scene in "The Green Mile". I would watch this over that "Hotel Rwanda"-fluff any day.

If it weren't for movies like this, I don't know what I would do with myself. I think I might have to cry myself to sleep if I didn't have "Durango Kids" to do it for me.

Just go see the movie. You'll be moved to tears...

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.

Hey, I like the idea of time-travelling back to earlier times. Some of my most favourite movies have been time-travel ones. Like "The Time Machine, Terminator, TimeCOP and such. I've liked reruns of "TimeTunnel" too.

It's okay (and actually pretty cool) to have kids doing this stuff, but maybe hype it up a bit. Some parts were a little slow. They could have left out the part with the guy throwing fairy dust around cause it didn't add anything to the movie. The parts on the train were a little kooky, but that sure was a neat train eh. It was really wild having ATVs in the old west.

I was about 15 when I first saw this movie and I just happened to see it again recently on Bell. I was surprised I still enjoyed it. And (even more amazing) my girlfriend watched it with me. She usually shies away from kid movies.

I think the boys and girls acting in this movie were better than most of the kids who make this type of stuff.

There are some other movies like this that were decent also like "Kid in King Arthur's Court and Kid in Aladdin's Palace. So maybe if you find you like this movie you should check those out too.
