This movie is an excellent movie. I am rarely a fan of robin movies but this was an impressive movie set in an atmosphere of old money and new money where a kid(Devon Sawa)whose family won the lottery must endure the constant criticism of children who come from old money. Robin fights these kids not in battle but in a competition fought at the end of his arrow. This has got to be one of the best teen movies of my past and one of Devon and Josh's greatest works. If you love the movies like Mighty Ducks, D2 and many other movies that puts a smile on your face when you think about your teen days,then this is definitely a movie you would love to see.
Robin (Devon Sawa) is a middle schooler who has just moved to the Seattle area with his folks. Originally from Kansas, Robin's parents won big money in the lottery and decided to change their lives. Initially, Robin is not happy to leave his friends and get enrolled in a snooty private academy. Naturally, he is picked on but makes friends with other outcasts like Little John and Marion (Sarah Chalke). Also, Robin excels in archery but is not allowed to join the school's exclusive arrow club. He promptly starts his own. Even more amazing, as a computer whiz, Robin starts to siphon off money from the school's biggest board member, to aid a fellow student whose home burned down. Yet, soon the school is hunting vigorously for the culprit. Will they be able to track down Robin and nail him? Can Robin win the school's archery tournament and the heart of Maid Marion? This modern day twist on an old, old story is quite fun and creative. Sawa makes a great teen hero while Chalke and all of the other cast members are a joy. The lovely scenery and fine costumes, dialogue and direction add up to hearty entertainment. Any child who views it will be tickled and, most likely, will search out the legends of the real Robin Hood of Locksley.
This movie had Josua Jackson and Devon Sawa in it need I say more? It was really cool Josh did play a bad guy but this movie was the best!! It was a really good movie and I am surprized more people did not see it it is on tv now. Hope it is on tv again soon because I have not seen it for a while.

I've seen just about all of his movies, and this is in my top 3 favorites. His acting in this movie is excellant. Not only is he excellant, but also the plot. The mood, the scene, the characters, everything is just perfect. When you watch the movie you forget about everything else in your life and feel like you're actually in this Robin tale.
To anyone who has not seen it, and even if you're not a fan of Devon Sawa, Joshua Jackson or any of the other actors, I still advise you to watch it!
