3/4  A surprise
I saw this movie on tv when I was in Greece and was surprised to find I really liked it. The dialogue was surprisingly good as was the acting. Some of the plot points were a bit weak and the conclusion was kind of overly easy, but I stil... (read full)

4/5 Hoot (DVD)
  by Maureen McCarron (Conesus, NY)
Used this DVD with students who read Hiaasen's book at school. We liked the script-to-video feature with scene by scene transcription for comparing the book to the movie. The actors portrayed the great characters well. Very funny and fairly true to the book.

4/5 fun time

I worked for over 30 years with abused, neglected and disfuncitonal children. It was fun to watch a movie about kids that, although not perfect (but who is?) did positive things even if they did do a little bit of distruction. Revolutions are not clean...ever.

5/5 An Excellent Film
  by Tropicalwolf (Ohio, USA)
This film is truly family friendly and fun to watch from beginning to end. Not filled with the typical Hollywood schlock which makes it better than any alleged blockbuster. Perfect for tweens but, to be honest, it is probably TOO intelligent for most adults. It goes to show what a little inspiration and a positive outlook can accomplish. It is good to see that not all idealism is dead in this world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

5/5 Hoot

This is a story that has some good growing examples on life and also will keep the interest of those watching. This is a good movie to show 5-8 students.
