All Critics (18) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (4) | DVD (4)
Writer-director Stephen Sommers has made a conventional literal film, in which the acting of the two leads never rises above the mediocre, thus failing to endow the tale with the stirring mood that it deserves.
Top CriticA really enjoyable film, and a loyal recreation of the literary classic
Twain's text defies all efforts to translate onto film. Without Huck's subjective narrative, the subtler points fall flat, leaving a drained and empty children's movie in its place.
