That's Great !Its really loved the whole experience and will definitely provided relief. Its so very well work experience in detective agency. I have expressed about very well this detective agency. Its collect the true evidence through surveillance and they are providing highly satisfaction and reliability. They are able to stay for all surveillance, they try to facing the evidence for you. I agree that the concept is unique and the idea behind it is quite good. The story is telling detective agency at the entrance is original, and several case solved through these. That is a good responsible detective agency and easy for contact.
Laughable. The whole thing was so bad.
From the acting, to the filming to the props. It was all bad. And Luke Perry... it makes me sad he did this.
Movie is fun for younger kids. Lots of adventure and mystery. Parents typically end up watching movies with the kids and this one stood out as one of the worst acting performances from most of the characters that we've ever seen. Luckily the kids see past this but I can't help but think the movie would have been so much better if they used real actors. Poor Luke Perry...how his star has diminished. It's almost funny to see him try and do an accent. I don't even think this would warrant being considered a made for TV flick as it's so low budget. Still can't believe we pay for this garbage acting but as long as the kids like it, can't complain too much. Would think kids over 10 would be interested though...a little to simple a story.
After watching sam steele and the junior detective agency, i will never again be the same woman. The excellency displayed in this artifact of cinema is unparalleled. This is luke perry's best work. This is emmett walsh's best work (even better than blade runner). This movie saved my marriage, my career, and my life. I have renewed zest and vigor to take on the world of criminals i encounter. I will continue to stay strong in my detective practice so that one day i might a criminal as dastardly as the cat. Thank you!
Is it just me?? But this seems to be an untalented rip off of the the Encyclopedia Brown series.. Similar characters, though due to writers limitations, not nearly as good. Even the character relationships tend to be direct rip offs Sam is the junior Detective,, His father happens to be the town detective.. his secretary Lenore is the brawn of the agency.. I think the writers assumed if they went back in time for inspiration, nobody would notice the theft, and their extreme lack of talent..
If your kids are interested in detective stories look up the originals Encyclopedia Brown..
