The Tiger Rising

The movie is very slow paced and it was boring. This is a made for TV movie and should not have been a theater movie. I am glad we went during the day and did not pay full price.

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.

Decent movie about sorrow, anger among other feelings we harbor in our minds. Set them free. That's what the movie is all about. Kudos to the kids and Queen Latifah for their believable performance. Enjoyed it.

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...

Posted sign on semi-remote Kentucky property said, "Trespassers Will Be Shot". Is that legal or ethical? Script was odd, perhaps because of mixed symbolism of children being bullied combined with a child's coping with loss of mother with both somehow connected to a caged tiger that is oddly located in a remote no where location. Ending bizarre.
