The Counterfeit Kid

What great fun!! Beautiful scenery and soundtrack! Wonderful family friendly movie with a good moral. Chaco character stole the show but Jack/Bloody Ben was nice to look at. Being from Wyoming I connected with so much of the locations and scenery. The fall colors are just beautiful.

The music was top notch for an Indie movie as well. The orchestration was just lovely and I especially loved when it corresponded to each character such as when Chaco appears you get his "theme", which is a Spanish guitar.

Costuming was also on point for the time period of the film. Just an all around wonderful film for the whole family!

Creative movie that will make you laugh and also want to move to Wyoming for the scenery. The Counterfeit Kid has some very good actors who do a great job delivering a well written script. There is just the right balance of action and comic relief to keep you entertained as you follow the story of Jack aka Bloody Ben Harris. If you've been to Cody, WY or around the Big Horn Mountains, you'll recognize some of the places that were used in the film.

When watching this movie, keep in mind it was literally made with someone's personal budget. The end product is absolutely amazing considering the resources available. Quality soundtrack as well!

Hats off to Matthew Taggart for realizing his idea to make this film!

Such a breath of fresh air. Fun western shot in beautiful Wyoming. Lots of variety in shooting locations so there were many stunning views of an amazing state. Loved Chaco. He had perfect delivery and great expressions. All actors did an amazing job. The wedding had lots of cute kids as extras. The audience and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole movie - it was funny and clever and wholesome. I don't attend many movies anymore due to content but this is a great little Indy film appropriate for the whole family. The music score was perfect and I was impressed with how well it fit the characters and script. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys a well written movie.

If you're on the fence about watching this film, just do it! Totally worth it. So many gems to look out for. First, the scenery in this movie is second to none. Sometimes I got caught up just looking at the breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys and had to remind myself to focus on the story! The score was fabulous and could not have complimented the views any better. The plot and storyline were clever, suspenseful and hilarious. I also really enjoyed the well appointed special effects that made some of the scenes especially interesting. If you watch closely, you will find them. Watch it, you won't be sorry!

I must confess, I'm not a fan of country genre. I searched "Romantic/Comedy" to which this title was the first available on one of my subscribed/free Accts on my Roku.

To me, it was seemingly predictable for the first 18.50 minutes. After that moment it appeared to have a fresh air about it and began to take off. I also really liked the light-hearted quirky music that was running through the movie. The plot was simple and there was sub-plot upon many more sub-plots. All leading the main character, Jack back to his intended girl, Olivia by way of another main plot of finding the hidden treasure in the mountains. There's definitely some surprises along the way. But there's mayhem afoot from all Jack's deceptive ways and the conceits that soon take hold... where will it lead him and what trouble will he have to find his way out from? Will he learn any life lessons along the way?

But don't forget... there's a villain.

It's a light-hearted and pleasant movie to watch. A great distresser after a hectic day.

Unexpectedly, I enjoyed this movie.
