VHS Movie Reviews of Indian in the Cupboard: Gift Set (includes 5 figurines)
Movie Review: It is great!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see movie for any ages. It brings about the use of imaginations again parents!!!Movie Review: Way too violent
Summary: 1 Stars
My 10 year old son was reading this book in class and we decided to watch the movie as a family. About half-way through the movie is a scene, absolutely not in the book, where Native Americans are shot by "cowboys", scream in pain and die. My son was so distressed, we had to turn the movie off. I have since met three other families whose children had nightmares or other strong negative reactions to this totally unnecessary graphic violence. I will admit that my 8 year old daughter was not bothered by it, nonetheless, I cannot recommend this movie for young children. Movie Review: indian in the cupboard
Summary: 5 Stars
indian in the cupboard good movie but i wanted the action figures more, ive been looking since the movie first came out and now i finally have them all!Movie Review: Indian in Cupboard
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent movie for families. It gets children's imaginations working and promotes discussion on right/wrong, caring, discovering that "different" people aren't so very different after all. Highly recommended.Movie Review: My goodness, what an insult to the book!!
Summary: 2 Stars
We just got done reading this book in our homeschool so naturally I rented this movie hoping it would bring the words to life. This movie is a mere shadow of the book. Omri's family is nice and even the boy who plays him is okay. The Native American who played the "Indian" (Litefoot) did a wonderful job but the script was so pathetic. The boy who played Patrick was repugnant and not much of a real friend. One of the major things that just absolutely kills this movie for me is the excessive amount of cussing (at one point Omri even says a cuss word to his mom, and she responds with a proud, wide-mouthed grin). Not only that, but in one scene the boys even have the cowboy and Indian watching a raunchy music video, and plenty is shown to make it offensive. These were fatal mistakes in my opinion, I am sure I am not the only one who was turned off by these things. It would have been so awesome to see what a really good director could have done with this movie.
Summary of Indian in the Cupboard: Gift Set (includes 5 figurines)
Young Hal Scardino stars as a sensitive boy who discovers a way to bring plastic toys to life in a locked cupboard. One of those toys, a 19th-century Iroquois warrior (played by actor Litefoot), was actually a real warrior now only several inches tall. A bond eventually develops between boy and warrior, and a six-shooting toy cowboy (David Keith). As with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Indian in the Cupboard (which was written by E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison) is about a magical visitor connecting with a lonely child. But director Frank Oz (In & Out) has made the film far too stiff and dramatically flat to get across the enchantment necessary to make the fantasy work. Watching this is like listening to someone who can't tell a good story to save his life, yet who is trying to captivate your attention and heart. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure Video
