Adventure Scouts

Every now and again if you're lucky to be in the right locale at the right time of the day, your fortune is to be entertained by American flickers that reveal characteristics and story lines that smack American. This flicker is definitely one of those gems. My mum and pop always bring us to the states for holiday tours during our torrid summers to deliver us a break from the torrential downpours in GB.

Sadly, it has been storming here in Orlando Florida for weeks. So my new good friend Raven, suggests we watch a flicker that she viewed several years ago. This flicker. I remembered viewing this flicker years ago in GB, whilst I was a tad and now again, that I am a tween. The scout in the main role was very cute and I am sure quite cute to this day. We thoroughly honked during the villainous motorcycle group was on the screen. All in all this entertaining flicker proved to be very cheery.

It's definitely a kids movie. it's kind of like a Home Alone type of kids movie.

The kids/scouts trap all of the bikers that have taken over their home town.

The leader of the motorcycle gang which had just gotten out of prison is looking for his son. so he ends up following the ex-wife and current husband who is like a big boy scout to Florida.

the little boy who has been keeping in touch through the mail system tells his real dad that he can't wait to meet him.

once the real dad and his gang get to Florida all heck breaks loose. the kids defeat the motorcycle gang and save the town. it's cute and fun to watch, if you're between the ages 7-14.

I rented this movie because we saw the movie Dolphin Tale and there were

a couple comments about the actor Fitzpatrick that played Sawyer's uncle,

so we rented it and the kids loved it. It was very pro-friendship with

life lessons for all. Personally, this movie probably appeals best for

ages 4-12, or for any kid that is a part of the Boy Scouts of America, or

Girl Scouts of America. My husband liked it because he knew some of the

Professional Football players in the movie, that were a part of the

Motorcycle gang. So, overall it was good family film, with some hidden

innuendos for adults.

I can't imagine any parent not liking this film for their kids. It's all about

friendship, supporting each other and overcoming the biases of candyasses

in the world that just can't seemingly get over themsleves, thinking they know

it all about life. Simply put, someone not liking this little movie for families

and kids, must not be a very good family friendly or kid friendly member of

society. Our children enjoyed the kids beating up and taking over the

motorcycle gang. Yes, as silly as it was, was cute and funny. A couple of the

motorcycle guys were actually funny too. And NO, there wasn't any foul

language like a prior critic stated

My husband and I rented the movie after reading a few reviews suggesting that it was "Kid-Friendly" and it was. The characters (bikers) are all goofy and fun, except for the main biker. The Scouts were all very cute and funny and it looked like they had a lot of fun making the movie.

Most children's movies almost always have moments where you hope that your kid didn't understand the dialogue or the innuendo, but this movie didn't have any of those.

We would rate this movie as safe for 5 and older. younger kids might probably wouldn't understand it but there's a couple moments when the main biker slaps the step-father in the movie and ties-up the his ex-wife and step-father.

Other than that, our children seemed to enjoy it.
