Behind the Waterfall

This is a marvelous film from Feature Films For Families :), the wholesome quality of the characters makes you feel refreshed the moment the movie begins. As Tommy, his sister, and the other characters discover God through learning about fairies, and other "Irish Blarney" you travel through their adventures with them. I definitely recommend watching this. :)

It's kind of a nice, gentle old fashioned movie. I thought Gary Burghoff did a reasonable borough, although it probably wouldn't fool anyone from Galway or Cork. However, it isn't any broader than those in The Quiet Man and some of those actors really were Irish. I could have done without the fake, bushy eyebrows though, but they probably did that so he'd look his age or older (I think he was mid 50s or so at the time) and so people wouldn't say Hey, Radar O'Reilly's playing a Leprechaun. And it was faith based but not advancing one religion over another. My other recommendation is if The Irish Rovers ever need a new member, Gary Burghoff, even though his background isn't necessarily Irish, would make a good one.

This movie is one of my personal favorites. It leaves you filled with a desire to dream and imagine. I recommend this movie to children-and adults, especially if you're overwhelmed by reality. A charming movie full of family values. I watched it when I was little and I still do now as I'm growing up. The movie tells about seven-year-old boy named Tommy and his older sister, Becky who visit their Aunt and cousin, who believe everything can be explained scientifically. Tommy and his cousin, Alex meet an old shoemaker, Mr.Conners. With his help the children learn to believe and use their imaginations while looking for the "Lost Faden." The movie produces an emotion that is almost impossible to describe, you just have to believe there's something else there. Just like Mr.Conners taught Alex and Tommy, you have to believe what you can't always see.

The movie started off pretty good but i lost interest as the story went along. I know the actress who played Alex, and I dont think she was living up to her full potential. She does much better in school skits. The guy who plays Radar in MASH is in it so thats a plus. Overall i give this movie C-.

Ok so I was bored and I watched it all the way through.

This film is mild, inoffensive and lacklustre. The story is so sugary it rots your teeth on the opening titles. A tail of two 'traumatised' children learning about 'God' the fairy story way which frankly left me rather traumatised. It uses the Irish 'blarney' in such a stereotypical way one hopes no true Irish ever see it. Aimed at children who frankly would switch off after the first attempt at an 'OIRISH' accent. All in all why do they pump these out.
