Jason B @RT90795834 Apr 3 I think we’re the web for grows. It is horrible if I could give it negative as far as it goes, I mean if I could give it affinity negative I would I read this book when I was only in third grade my teacher read me I hated the book for some of it. I sat out, but I had to watch the movie. It was even worse. It was about these two dogs just dying. I mean, that was at the end. It was basically bittersweet but mostly better for me. I hate the movie please don’t watch it. You’ll get big nightmares, but you’re just sad. You’ll hate it if you have a dog I sent out for some of it because my dog recently died and that was so sad for me. I hated the book at the movie you would watch. I had to go home during the movie, but then I watched that home for my parents to cover me. It was so fat so never watched the movie unless you want to, but I don’t think you’ve checked.

The movie stayed with me and I tracked it down. Really brings me back. Sent a copy to my dad today. See more Erin G @RT66168579 09/17/2024 Brought me back to my childhood. I saw this movie as a kid and remembered bawling but trying not to show it in the theatre. This movie has stuck with me for 50 years. I still enjoyed it even though I'm a lot older but it sure brought back memories. es. See more Allen F @RT58578106 08/03/2024 Really touching movie adaptation of a book from my childhood. Well done See more Charles H @RT52246451 09/21/2023 Where The Red Fern Grows takes on the incredible task of adapting such a beloved work of literature into film format- and does the best it can. It skips over a lot of parts, leaving some book readers who are watching the movie be a bit confused, but it doesn't skip over any major plot points and all the character arcs and major events still get their time on screen. You can tell that this movie didn't have an incredible budget, with some scenes that were incredibly detailed in the book with the dogs behaving incredibly, but in the movie its done a bit simpler. In most parts the movie was well acted and all the emotion seemed genuine, there were few parts where it didn't seem good, but mainly fine. Overall: It doesn't stay ENTIRELY true to the book in its sets and designs, but stays true to its story and delivers it to the screen well. 8/10.
