I loved this movie!

I'm a ninth grade student and I loved this movie! My mom and I both liked this movie and we don't always agree on movies. The characters are great, especially the granny and grandson who rescues her. The dad and brothers are crazy! My mom went to high school with Tom Huckabee and said that the movie is partly based on Tommy's life. Wow, that is SO cool. I bet he had a fun life growing up. I wish I had known him back then. I would have loved to meet his family! And I would have loved to meet his granny. She reminds me of my great grandmother, Mama Jewel. She was full of life and we all loved her. I give this movie two thumbs up!

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!

Fake Ratings

All the 8-10 star ratings are written by people who are associated with the filmmakers- this is the ONLY review they have written. Go figure!

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!

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.

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.
