The Untold Story

I really can't fathom why this movie was made as it is pure drivel. Someone has obviously been skewing the ratings here on IMDB because no one in their right mind would give this an acceptable rating. I think the effort was there to make this film good but it was a failed attempt. I feel bad for the people involved because the result was such a failure. It came across as a very bad made for TV movie. The acting was mostly very bad, almost like amateur and people just reading their lines in a canned manner. The script was lame to the point of moronic. Given some time I am sure the IMDB score will plummet as more real people vote in. The only redeeming quality I could see in the movie is a feel-good vibe that arises from a down-on-his-luck actor who remains a kind person despite his personal setbacks. But this message is just not enough to justify the movie.

Stumbled across this movie and the internet and was very pleasantly surprised. Well-rounded little story. Very good acting with realistic emotions and hopes and dreams. Truthfully would give this movie at 9 out of 10 at least.

I honestly believe this is a grossly underrated movie.

Also it was good to see the late Dan Haggerty play a bit part in this. Such a good man. I think anyone was an ounce of compassion and love for their fellow human being would enjoy this well put together story.

This is not a far-fetched theme or unrealistic script. It's easy to imagine something like this occurring in real life which makes it all the more touching. You really grow to love all the actors in this movie for who they are with all their imperfections and qualities alike.

No extra bells or whistles. Just good storytelling and a great believable cast. Heartwarming and uplifting. Mr. Barry Van Dyke was relaxed and natural and Nia Peeples is such a beautiful talented lady. LOVED seeing Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty)!! Had a hard time figuring out who the car salesman was (Dr. Quinn's Sully). And the friend of the guy with the parrot on his shoulder (child star Robbie Rist). I do not remember seeing Ellen Greene (Lydia) before, but she did great too! The only one that I felt was a bit forced was Jordan Ladd, his 'friend.'

Thanks to the writers, directors, and producers for making this film. Refreshing so see a movie so 'normal' and wholesome.

If it wasn't for Nia, would never have watched movie. Very strong accent fir her. Best scene,her getting ready for dinner!

I was pleasantly surprised by The Untold Story. Stumbled on it and didn't really expect much initially but was drawn into the story of an older man who hit hard times but remained kind while looking for a way to dig himself out of that hole. Is this Oscar material? Of course not but I have seen much worse. The acting is good and the script and direction okay.
