Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure

While I may watch the occasional sitcom, I am not normally a comedy movie type person. That being said, I will get a copy of "Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure" once it finally comes out on DVD.

I was happily impressed with "Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure," as I had seen some previews and was actually expecting it to be the typical over-hyped independent movie that tried too hard, overly filled with crud humor and looked like it was filmed by a novice, and almost didn't go to see the movie. I am SO GLAD that I didn't listen to myself.

While, I do feel that one potty joke in particular lasted FAR too long (could easily have been half the length and still felt too long; you'll understand what I mean when you see it), the rest of the potty humor was generally well timed and didn't try to push the shock level.

If you enjoy comedies, feel good movies, and good characterization with great writing; you will enjoy this movie that one could essentially call, a grown-up's version of a family movie (as in designed for the whole family but that a parent can enjoy more than say a young child would, bucking the trend).

This film is absolutely amazing!! Not only is one of the most hilarious movies I've seen in a long while, it will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The actors in this film are phenomenal and the editing was spot on! Some of the visuals were breathtaking! You should all want to see this film!! :) Matt Sconce is brilliant in his directing and editing. There was not a weak performance in the bunch. Some parts had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Gregory Tharpe did a great job as the lead in this film and I look forward to seeing him in many more things. As well as the Rangers! So much fun!!! Rate this movie! See it when it comes out!! You will not regret it!

Enjoyed the film,and will put it on my cult classic list.Loved the shots of Yosemite. I thought the film quality was good.The ranger characters were great, they all did a great job....funny.I love cult classic films, some of which are B flick category.Usually will find in these kind of films material that goes off the beaten path. Gotta like originality, and Firefall does a good job of that. Definitely a family film, and the characterization of the family groups were good,particularly liked the Wisconsin family, and the rock climbers. Really enjoyed seeing the film at the Crest theater in Fresno.A great venue for this kind of film. Look forward to seeing more work from this group in the future.

I always look for movies that preteen, teens and adults will find humorous and that I don't have to be embarrassed by overt language or sexual tones. This movie is very funny, as well as clean! The story had a redeeming quality and we enjoyed the interaction of the characters. In this day and age where so many movies are remakes or unoriginal ideas, it's great to see creative and unique storytelling on the big screen. A variety of travelers descend on Yosemite National Park for one last Firefall, where burning logs are pushed over a cliff in a beautiful, burning waterfall. These travelers find more than just burning embers as they take on the "Big" wilderness, life-changing family dynamics, and one grumpy Beast of a Bear. You will find yourself belly-laughing as you relate this adventure to some of your own family vacations. There are lots of very funny moments throughout this delightful film!

As I'm typing this, I've had the pleasure of being a part of ten different movies so far, so I know a thing or two about what goes on behind the scenes and in front of the camera on set. Firefall could've easily been premiered in Tinsel Town. EASILY. The amount of creativity and professionalism blew me away. The actors, every single one of them, did an absolutely professional job. One thing, however, is that I wish I could've connected better with the characters. There were so many awesome characters and subplots that I felt like I lost track sometimes. Having said that, there could be so many epic sequels and dare I say prequels to this. Firefall has THAT much potential.
