DVD Reviews of My Side of the Mountain

DVD Review: My Side of the Mountain
Summary: 5 Stars

I received the order faster than anticipated which my daughter was very excited about. I would definately order from this person without hesitation and would highly recommend them:)

DVD Review: Not worth the time watching it
Summary: 1 Stars

The book "My Side of the Mountain" was great, but the movie was a waste of my time. I don't feel it followed the book close enough to warrant the title of the book. The differences are too numerable to mention.

DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars

The book was wonderful, so I had high hopes for the movie. Unfortunately, it strayed from the book quite a bit.
For example, in the book, Sam went to the mountains of New York - in the movie, he went to Quebec.
He had a pet raccoon (Gus), which was not in the book either. Worst of all, Frightful (his falcon) was shot/killed about half way through the movie!

DVD Review: dont listen to any negitive reviews
Summary: 5 Stars

hi,i cant belive anyone could ever put down this movie,[read my comment within mr.chases review]this is a wonderful movie!!please watch it with an open mind and dont analize how it was made.this is ment for children,specifically children from the late 60s when it was made.and if you are an adult this can be one of the best movies you have seen in years if you allow the child within you to emerge.it really makes me angry to see negitive reviews for this movie.i wish so much that i could go back to those years in the 60s and 70s.what wonderful years they were to be a kid!!i would hate to be a kid nowadays.i personally think that times now are nothing like they used to be.maybe its just me but life really seemed better in those eras.in those days mom could be mom,a kid could be a kid,we never even heard of sex offenders and all the other crap that goes along with nowadays.if i could build a time machine id get the hell outa here as fast as i could and land in the back seat of my dads 1969 chevy impala at the kingston ma.drive in and be watching this movie!and then go to the snack bar with my sister and get those great rubber hamburgers that they steamed to death and some popcorn and really live life to its fullest.thats one of the big bummers of today,that they took our drive-ins away!!they were so much fun!!anyway buy the movie you wont regret it.from mike b. in plymouth ma.ps please dont make fun of my spelling,ive never been a great speller.

DVD Review: One of the poorest book adaptations I've seen
Summary: 1 Stars

Yeah, so looking at the reviews makes me wonder, and no offense to anyone, but those saying this was a great movie must not have read the book. The movie was just bad, it really didn't have relevance to the book and just made no sense. Sam believes he has to run off and live in the forest to do algae experiments, yet comes around to winter he "learns his lesson" and decides he'll go home. There's no depth to the movie really, even Frightful's death which NEVER happened in the book, seemed to be just tacked in there to try and drive some drama home to the viewers. Read the book, there's no reason to watch this movie other that just to see bad it is compared to the book. Thankfully I only spent $5 on it because I found it at Walmart. I don't mind wasting $5 on it since I knew I had to watch the movie since I love the book, but blegh, what a mess. They even screwed up something as simple as Bando's character, having him one introduce himself as Bando, and two making him a wandering nature musician instead of a teacher...well anyway unless you find it cheap, or maybe even just rent it, I'd honestly past unless you just want to see one of the poorest book adaptations I've ever scene, it probably ranks second next to the Battlefield Earth movie. Oh yeah, and the only reason I'm giving it one star is because Amazon is making me, that's it, it really should be zero stars.
