prawnda S @RT72497680 Mar 24 it's pretty good, not very memorable imo. a decently fun watch, nothing specifically wrong with it. i dont think the tom sawyer thing did much for the film, but it was fine.

See more Kathryn J @KathrynJ 06/25/2023 What a wonderful film. Everything about it was terrific - script, acting, music, concept. I want to see it again; it was that much fun. Highly recommended. See more adam b 12/30/2020 I've never read Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Fin and I haven't watched any adaptations of the books before but I had a central idea of the plot. Pleasantly surprising. The entire cast is great and the story moves along at such a nice pace. A must see for fans of adventure films See more 10/20/2019 The utilization of the green and red contrast is used beautifully throughout the film by the Nee brothers. A very amusing and fun film following a band of nitwits as they pull off a heist where everything goes wrong. The acting was great as well as the interesting and different plot. See more 07/11/2018 There are some clever conceits buoying up the film, and a whole host of terrific performances that make it worth watching, but too often the execution falls flat, the underlying premise-Tom Sawyer as a young millennial adult in the contemporary South-never quite clicking with its beloved source material. Tom and Huck, when grown up and updated, no longer feel like a pair of mischievous rapscallions, but a couple of overgrown assholes who wreak destruction not only in their own lives, but those of total and innocent strangers. Tom is still affable and charming, but unlike the book, which is told through Huck's eyes-not just his voice, not just through colorful narration, but via the unreliability of Huck's own subjective experience-the film never sinks deeply enough into Huck's perspective to overlook Tom's tomfoolery for what it is: Opportunistic hornswoggle.
