You can tell this was made for teenagers simply because it involves high school scenes, and I just love how the business's administrator goes around telling him to call him by his nickname and rides a skateboard through the whole business. Then with the teenagers, when one "hacks" the school's system to set off the fire sprinklers for a girl's revenge, I can't help but laugh at the whole situation, he's got an umbrella and if the school knew who did this, it would get him a nice introduction of the police along with a very possible sue to at least pay for the damage.

I will admit, when I first saw this movie in the 90's, you could call it a favorite movie. But I have to say, when I look at it later on, I can't help but laugh at a good majority of the movie, especially the whole Hacker term. The term Hacker at least in the IT field is nothing but a computer nerd, someone who can analyze things to understand how they work. Usually doing this to customize products for their needs, or just understanding how they work out of curiosity. Apple Computer's co-founder Steve Wozniak is a classic example of a true Hacker.

I cannot understand why this movie gets such a bad overall rating. From my point of view, the movie is both entertaining and interesting. Beside Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes did great with both their characters and action in the movie. Plus the story for the movie is very good.

I call this Sandra Bullock's one good movie, I can't even see how she kept a straight face while talking her character's mistakes in simple sayings. That part was just hilarious.

I have to say the future technology doesn't look like it's going to make the year they had for the movie, but that isn't any big deal. The movie is very entertaining; full of action scenes, and even some humidity. Just watch it, and I'll bet you will like it.

This is one of the few stories that you can have someone give you, and be both entertained and even have feelings for the characters. For instance, Mary lives in a rich family, yet she almost would like her way out of of it. A lot of this is what gives her the feelings for the outside life and the garden when she finds it, along with her making friends with people like Martha and her brother Dickon, along with her spoiled and supposed sick cousin Colin.

I love the ending to this story when Mary's uncle finds the kids (specifically his son) playing in the garden, and the orphan cousin Mary runs off crying that no one wants her. It's a feeling everyone feels at some time in their life. Then her uncle says that she had brought the family back to life, and tells her that the garden is hers. The moment will bring tears to your eyes. After this, where she says "if you look closely, you will realize the whole world is a garden" which is very true, even when you include what we have done to hurt the world. The closing scene in the movie where they show the shadow effects over the grass hills makes me think of what you can truly see in simply an open field, or even trees with an open sky and clouds passing overhead. The whole movie is touching and beautiful.

The only thing I didn't like about the movie was that there were a couple moments you can tell weren't what the story to the original book had told, other than that, "The Secret Garden", both the book and the movie are touching entertainment for the whole family.
