Viewing Notes

Saw this at FF2012 so I didn’t have plans to view this again at CCFF… however, I had an extra pass so what the hell, why not? Plus I really enjoyed it at FF and had a slot to kill before the Friedkin signing. I may have enjoyed it even more on this viewing.

“This is war, man. Not fucking hopscotch!” Yep, this little flick is a blast. Totally the kind of film I’d love to watch with Ron, Pat, Gavin and Ewan. Really terrific acting by this all-kids cast.

This would have been a great movie night flick! Gavin and I enjoyed it a lot.

Did you just view it? It was great with a crowd at FF but I would have loved to watch this at a movie night. Figured Gavin would dig this movie.

Yep, just watched it on Thursday night. Completely forgot it was a Drafthouse film, or anything about it, until I put the disc in. It definitely would have made a great movie night movie. Gavin enjoyed it quite a bit.
