Classics Audrrey

The duck man is the only reason I stuck out to the end credits. John Hughes has produced some of the classic 80s rom coms that really make high school life look like a soap opera. This movie was fun but I can not get over how wrong they did my boy duckie. There’s a lot of miscommunication in the film, a story line holes, and character development that failed. The end result of the film was nothing like it should’ve been. JUSTICE FOR DUCKIE!!

Cartoon I actually laugh at. I remember when it came out. I never watched it while it was new. Now that I’m in my 20s I find it rather enjoyable. The jokes are sarcastic and edgy which is amusing. Totally worth a watch.

I’m taking away a star because of how much I cried. I’m 21 an I went to see this movie with a friend, the trailer made me laugh & I’ll watch almost anything with Ryan Reynolds. I didn’t expect to cry within the first 2 minutes, this movie hit so close to home it was as if someone read my life’s story and saw it through a looking glass. I was just like Bea… I lost my dead mother to cancer when I was 13. She was sick for 8 years, when she passed I became on the most angriest and depressed teen you’d ever meet. At the point of the movie where bea didn’t know how her father was doing in recovery she said something that just ripped my heart. It was along the lines of when you’re a kid who goes through such trauma you try to group of and shove the world away… you don’t want to feel any emotions. I cannot express how true that is. Her IF was a clown… which is a beautiful statement, trying to find joy with in the darkest of times. We spend so much time as kids wishing to be adults and on our own… I didn’t get much of childhood, it was over the moment my mother was diagnosed with cancer… and I would spend most days off in the doctors offices with her… I watched her loose her hair… become a skeleton of who she once was. Now as an adult i remember her fondly of the good times and the love she gave me until her last breath. As adults we want to relive our childhood memories and feel young and free. I’ve learned that a childhood memorable for life is a privilege not a right. I’ve never felt so understood by a movie. Thank you to those who made this film… you owe me at least 2 packs of Costco tissues. Amazing sound track Great animation Amazing cast Excellent acting Also loved the Easter egg of the movie Harvey with Jimmy Stewart playing in the background.

I absolutely dig The Bee Gees. My mom liked them and played them every so often. She always joked how she loved the fact they said Massachusetts correctly in their song. During my childhood I slowly grew in my admiration. My first vinyl was a Bee Gees soundtrack given to me by my mom. She passed away when I was 14. To this day I find my self spontaneously mumbling a tune or 2 of the songs she’d play on the stereo. Knowing every word and tone change I receive so much joy and comfort from these beautiful songs. I’m in my 20s now, I have 100+ vinyls ranging from 1940s-1980s. My favorite albums are of course Bee Gees & of course Andy’s. To this day I keep discovering more and more songs of theirs with a new appreciation and emotion. I always felt cheated I wasn’t alive during the era of such great music and entertainment was thriving. I think being in my generation and knowing about such amazing music, I’m privileged. I may be the only yougen I know who’s still vibing. But I wouldn’t trade it for nothing. Thank you brothers Gibbs - all 4 of you have made such an incredible impact in the music world. The heart ships and pains endured by you. Has not gone unnoticed.

Upbeat flash mob. If was a resident on the block where this strike occurred I would terrified, for every 30 minutes passed a flash mobs appears with aggressive choreography and mad harmonies. The clothes and set are rather good for mimicking the 1890s. The singing was rather good. Emotional portrayals in each character well suited. Enough background on things to understand what is going on. -Historical information- There are quite a lot of flaws in this movie when it comes down to historical accuracy. Disney of course is notorious for idolizing small events, people, or groups with a lot of fabrication. This is evident with in this film. For the true story of the 1899 New York Newsies strike, the event beings in July. During the early days of the strike it was rather violent, between those on strike and those who proceeded to work. It is true newspapers started hiring adults ( with offered police protection ) to sell papers to make their profits. Women who sold papers faired rather well for one lead said “ a feller can not soak a lady.” 2 leaders ( who in the movie would have been Jack Kelly & David ) of the strike sold out to biggest money holder on a bribe as did Jack Kelly in the movie. Both leaders gave up their power and left the union for they were disgraced for their actions. The strike only last for a month from July - August of 1899. There was in fact a meeting with in the event hall sponsored by a local senator, roughly 8,000+ newsie children attended along with politicians, newspaper owners, business men and more which all spoke together about a compromise to end the strike. In August 1st the large paper co. Offered the union a deal. Which was agreed too thus leading to the union being disband on August 2d This one month strike accomplished price of a hundred papers would remain at 60¢, but they would buy back any unsold papers. This meant that the boys, who had trouble selling all their papers would not be forced to sell late into the night to avoid taking a loss for the day. Sadly their working conditions would remain the same for decades until child welfare practices were implemented into the area. Further note we hear the trans-Atlantic accent being used. This accent was introduced until the late 1910s later falling outta style during the 1940s. Though this accent was found among affluent schools among the East Coast its popularity didn’t increase until its arrival upon the big screen. I hope this review has been informative! Enjoy the movie! Remember history is not always as glamorous as it may be presented.

The farther a farther we get into the 21st century the worst the movies are… this movie had terrible dialogue, plot, transitions along with overall character development. The plot was not well executed… rather it was sprawled out like the bar of butter from the kitchen counter on your in-laws dry turkey roast. I enjoyed Will Ferrells part, he was comical. I wouldn’t recommend this as a family film or even something to watch… In other words… I’m sending in a compensation letter for the time I lost and brain cells that died, to Warner bros. and Mattel.

Grew up watching this, always put it on when I visited my grandpa… Buzz and Scuzz and the most memorable part of the movie I can still picture them.

Absolutely classic love the dancing the music the cars the small town vibe, Willard’s and Rens friend ship. But I can not stand the main girl Ariel she bugs me to where I need to jump off the walls. It’s a well executed film but I wish the train tracks and hwy car/ truck scene were not included. The history behind the story is also worth a read.

Ok so there’s many things wrong with this show, starting with plot issues, factual issues an logical issues. The acting is horrible, this is as if hallmark went Syfy, one girl in the show all she dose is cry and that’s it, the mother in the show is… not the best when it comes to making good choices, an also her outfit changed like every 3 episodes were as NO ONE else in the whole show down in the prehistoric land changed clothing, did she some how find a Macy’s 10 miles down the road run by the local family of sabertooth tigers, an proceeded told no one. Also in the first 2 episodes there were animals and they just disappeared…. Most of the characters bug me, however I appreciate the comical relief Scott.
