O Despertar do Tigre

Usually when Quaid or Latifah is onboard, it's a feel-good movie and worth watching. Somehow they missed the target and instead gave us a sleep-inducing snoozefest that meandered and never progressed into something meaningful.

I kept getting distracted watching this and total time spent was probably 3 hours to complete Such a miss...

I enjoyed watching the movie The Tiger Rising. As a fan of actor Dennis Quaid and actress Queen Latifah, I was excited to see this movie. I thought it was great movie to see with my children. They were instantly able to understand Rob's heartache and what he was experiencing. He is dealing with the grief of losing his mother and meets a little girl, Sistine, who is, also, dealing with her own emotions involving her parents' divorce. It is sad movie that I had to find my tissues throughout, but the story offers hope and coping with traumatic experiences. I do have to warn that the ending could be upsetting for younger audiences.

I am giving The Tiger Rising four stars. I recommend it for families of all ages. It would be a great way for them to bring up much needed conversations.

I received an early screener link of The Tiger Rising, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

We thought a movie with Dennis Quaid and Queen Latifah would be a sure bet, but their talents were wasted. The movie lacked direction and dragged for the most part. The three children in attendance were in and of the theater during the movie. Obviously, the movie failed to hold their attention (as well as ours). What started out as having potential turned turned into the hope that it would end soon so we could go home.

If you can't get a decent performance out of Dennis Quaid, just quit. Horrible script and direction. I don't know how things like this get made. Just dismal.

Sorry, but this one misses the mark. I had great expectations going in, since there were some good actors involved. They did their best with a poor script, and some unbelievable scenes they had to try and make believable. The plot was thin and the plot holes were many. The story line was weak and poorly developed. I never read the novel this was based upon, but suspect it was cut down substantially, and lost a lot in the process. Consequently, there were a number of story transitions that were not at all smooth. I'm sorry if this analysis disappoints some, but I'm merely expressing my own disappointment.
