Started out strong

It fizzled out about half way through and then it took a left hand turn and became boring. The entire segment where Sarah comes into the picture was meaningless. Should have stuck with the story line and cut out the unnecessary fluff.

The acting was pretty good.

As far as those people who left reviews here talking about how they were connected with the filmmakers didn't do the film any favors- made it look desperate and pathetic. Besides, it's not the proper venue to tell their B.S. There is no way that this movie is a 10 out of 10, so I'm assuming that they too are connected with the film in one way or another...I subtracted one star because of these fake ratings.

Carried Away at the Texas Theater in Dallas, Dec. 26, 2010

Bill Reese is happy to have attended the premier of Tom Huckabee's movie "Carried Away," at the Texas Theater in Dallas, Dec. 26, 2010. Most of the cast were at the premier. After the first showing of the movie, there was a reception. The cast were there introducing themselves and answering questions about the movie. It was exciting to meet the actual stars in the movie and the writer/director, and the producers and editor.

The movie was captivating, hilarious, touching, relative, realistic. I will not spoil it by telling details, but I suggest this movie for everyone. It will offend all equally (kidding). No really though, it is very witty, without the use of excessive foul language, violence, or sex.

great film

Great film for all ages! The characters were believable and the cast chosen was perfect. This is a film that everyone can associate with in some way. There were both funny and heartfelt moments throughout. These days it seems like if you want to go see a movie with your kids your only choice is an animated film. While these are good it is nice to see a film with real actors and real life situations that you can take your family too! It gives families an opportunity to talk about these family situations that come up in real life. For that reason alone this film should do extremely well. Add in the great film work and wonderful acting along with the well written script and this piece of work should be a hit!

Absolutely Incredible!

I saw this movie to support my friends, Juli Erickson and Bill Flynn. But I never dreamed how this movie would touch my heart! The storyline, interactions of the characters, cast and crew, cinematography, and locations, were sheer genius! It made me look into my own life and see that I needed some work on my family relationships. I had tears in my eyes when I shook Mr. Huckabee's hand, thankful that I was able to experience something that so touched my heart. Don't get so caught up in your everyday lives, that you miss the importance of nurturing your family relationships. Tom, thank you for having the insight and heart to make this amazing film possible! I hope everyone gets to see this!!

Really Funny-Great All Around

I really loved this film. I saw it at a film fest and thought it was what I thought The Savages was going to be - but was not!!...and The Savages was nominated for an Oscar(and it think won)! But back to Carried Away - It was definitely a LOL movie (laugh out loud for any grannies out there) and made me feel like I am not alone in my thoughts about my own grandmother. This is what I love about independent films and so much better than Hollywood studio junk. I've read a little bit about the director and the making of the film which made me like it even more.

I think Carried Away's good for a Church Group film night, a College Film Society Night or date night at home. I would watch it again for sure!

Trivia
Carried Away premiered at the Texas Theater in Oak Cliff, Texas - the same theater that Presidential assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested at. Ironically, at the beginning of this film Ed Franklin (Gabriel Horn) explains his moustache as being for a play in which he plays another Presidential Assassin, John Wilkes Booth.
