July 10, 2010I remember liking this much more as a kid. Now, I just find the beginning and middle incredibly slow - especially the Wilkes brothers imbroglio. Perhaps my erstwhile liking of the whole is influenced by my absolute love for the lynch scene after Huck gets shot. Tears!

November 22, 2009One of my favorites when I was younger and it still holds up today. The landscape is beautiful and the acting is great. Elijah Wood gave an amazing performance as Huck Finn and completely embodied the character. Stephen Sommers made a fun and lovable story even more accessible.

A really enjoyable film, and a loyal recreation of the literary classic

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
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.
