Freedom Park

I just saw this movie and it was REALLY great! This was one of my favorite movies that I have seen, and it was shot in Massachusetts. I was so impressed with the quality of this movie!!!!! It had a really great story that everyone will LOVE.

This was a movie about two guys who had to deal with a gambling debt, which they chose to deal with in a hilarious way. Once they realized that it was getting out of control they dealt with the problem. It was made so well, the characters really developed throughout the movie, and there were many deep subjects that were tackled but in a way that stayed light enough to keep the kids involved.

This truly is a rare movie, it somehow manages to be extremely interesting to adults and very entertaining for kids. This is a movie in its own level!!

This is an excellent family movie. After reading the logline I was skeptical/concerned/curious to see if Jon Artigo & Chad Meserve could pull off a family movie about gambling...They've succeeded with Freedom Park.

FP is fast, furious and VERY funny. The characters are well rounded -- and the acting is superb.

It's a huge accomplishment when film makers can produce a family film that actually appeals to adults as well as the target audience of children. Freedom Park does it.

You MUST see this film -- because only then will you truly understand the Headline above.

Awesome work!

"Freedom Park" is one of the highest quality independent films I have seen in some time. It features good acting, an interesting premise and a well-written plot, but that's not what makes it great. "Freedom Park" does several things that a standard indy romp doesn't do. First, instead of going for shock value it strives for mainstream acceptance without sacrificing the emotional depth of the characters or the humorous elements. Second, the movie has heart. There are classic good guy/bad guy conflicts in the multiple intertwining plot arcs and you will find yourself rooting for the good guys more often than not, but you will also identify with the bad guys, who could so easily have been played as one-dimensional jerks but are instead endowed with depth and humor.

Andrea Ajemian, the female lead and producer of this film, has a gift for comedy and is just adorable to boot. Tim Fields and Matt MacDonald have a great charisma and chemistry that makes them extremely likable as the main characters. The child actors in this film are well cast and show a lot of emotional depth for their ages. Add in some great cameos by Red Sox announcer Jerry Remy and legend Louis Tiant and you have all the star power you need.

On limited release in Massachusetts, "Freedom Park" will hopefully be picked up for major distribution sometime soon and if nothing else released on DVD.

Go see it, take your kids, your parents, your friends and loved ones, you will not be disappointed.

This movie is one of my new favorites! I have seen it twice already. If I didn't know ahead of time that it was an independent movie, I would have had no idea. It is extremely well-made. The acting is amazing...from the appealing leads to the impressive child actors. The story is original, and the movie is packed with hilarious moments. It is also nice to see an independent movie without the overwhelming barrage of sex, drugs and violence. There is nothing objectionable in this film. When I saw it, the kids were cracking up, and the adults were laughing right along with them. This movie has something for everyone. I hope this movie gets a wider release so even more people can enjoy it. Everyone involved should be very proud. Check it out today!

So this was made locally and is getting a showing at a local theatre(Worcester,MA)....I like independent movies.I often drive into Cambridge or Boston to see something unique. But this movie is just dreadful. An idiot plot that would be offensive to Italians--if it was a real plot. There is no real acting-- no one comes out of this film looking good. It has the quality of someone's (bad)home movie. Example:A cop who pulls a gun on someone..for what? No idea,he had no reason to pull the person's car over to begin with. This is more than overly broad comedy,this is just plot less,moronic film making at it's absolute worse. When it was over I just wanted to run away from the theatre as fast as possible--I feared seeing someone involved in the making of the movie standing around looking for a compliment.
