    Strong future for Dir. Gregg Russell!

    You are now entering THE SOUTH. Wellcome Ya'll! Represent! Strong actors, strong writing and a relate-able story. AND FUNNY. This film has wings and I think not only a star, but many stars, were born in its creation. Ya'll going' to Ya'll-y-WOOD honey - bless your heart.

    It's a great film that captures southern culture, comedy and attitude. The acting is very strong and see a bright future for these actors. The writing is strong and I see a bright future for the director and crew. It's a cut throat industry, so great to see films being made that stay true to the creator's vision and great to see new talent really show their skills.

    Hilarious!

    A perfect depiction of Southern "good ole boys" and dysfunctional relationships. Typical how the main character kept screwing up his life and blaming everyone and everything but himself. There were some great laugh-out-loud moments.

    The ones who left bad reviews obviously have never spent any time in the South, specifically Florida.

    a decent comedy

    Not nearly as bad or as good as the extreme reviews make it out to be. It has some funny moments and was made well enough to hold your interest.

    Enjoyed it

    The acting was good. The main character and his "friend" Jimmy were very good. Also, shot well, clean set-ups and motivations. Maybe a bit repetitive, but it did not stop it from being entertaining. I liked the simple story, it allowed for character development and for comic situations with out getting complicated. I saw it on Youtube. Funny at times and I enjoyed it! I am a filmmaker and know how hard it is to pull off a low budget feature film. These guys did it. So, pop open a beer, sit back and don't take it at all serious and I think you have a good time watching this lesser known comedy film.

    made me laugh out loud

    A Free Bird is a great movie! It had me laughing out loud at so many points throughout. The storyline is great, and the actors are all so well cast. There aren't any big names in this movie -- but you may recognize Tammy from the Starz show Magic City. She is great! Jimmy Bobo has got to be one of the best characters I have seen in a movie in a long time. The scenes with him are definitely among my absolute favorites in the whole movie. I love the craziness of these guys. And the best part is that you know there are people out there just like this. I think that's what makes it so funny. Watch this movie when you want to laugh. you definitely can't go wrong! A Free Bird is definitely one to keep around for future viewing.
