Stolen Summer Reviews

I loved it. For those looking of an old fashioned good movie.

Absolutely loves it! It was very well written and the child actors were amazing.

As a theologian, I had some issues with it. Aside from those, it was a very sweet film, and an impressive debut, both for Pete Jones, and for Project Greenlight.

Not quite. Things don't come together so well. Wide Awake (with Joseph Cross) is a much better movie on the same topic.

Wonderful characters with real relationship development about faith, family, and how to be real neighbors.

With all the bad reviews I find this movie actually pretty good if anyone who knows kids know that these children play the roles well being that they are children the movie was heart felt and brought the picture of religion into light in a that is real and although there are differences we all look to God and that shows without overpowering the audience and or telling the audience to pick a side which I think is wonderful. I say see it for yourself and decide for yourself.

Really good film, I'm not going to lie. Although, Bonnie Hunt steals it.

As long as the final result of Project Greenlight was this weak, at least the process of getting it made was fun to watch. The performances from all of the adults were good, but the two kids, the story and the sappiness of it is just too many crappy factors rolled into one movie. It's kind of a shock that this is the script that won.

What was the point of this movie?

Free trip to Heaven.

Not bad, really, but I don't have much to say about it. I don't want to further dump on a movie that's so earnest and got such poor critical response, especially since it was largely a victim of impossible hype. But if I'm being honest, then yes, this was less compelling than the behind-the-scenes series.

Wow, it is a sweet story. Growing up Catholic made it very relevant for me. Bonnie Hunt is always great as a Mom!!

Interesting story exploring community and the family unit.

Not many folk have liked this, but I did. It's schmaltzy, and requires suspension of disbelief. Eleanor's comment was 'kids aren't like that', but for me Adi Stein's performance was sincere and convincing. It put me into that innocent place of being eight and having a grand plan. Maybe I was just feeling vulnerable, but I was moved by this film. Leave your critical faculties at the door and enjoy it too.

Sweet. Well done. Bitter sweet. A great date movie.

Terrible. I went through the whole thing expecting SOME sort of truth to be learned in the end. The kid starts out confused and ends up even more confused. So it ends with the following message: "Jesus" is just a symbol, so we could make up any name to pray to and heaven will await us. Perfect, let's just make it all up as we go, shall we...I want my hour and a half back.

Clichà (C) but touching.

The one glaring problem with this movie is that the acting is very much on the surface. Which is too bad, because the story is really quite good. Bonnie Hunt and Aidan Quinn's performances were good, but the rest all seemed a bit forced. This is worth seeing, I just wish it had gone a bit deeper.

A nicely told little story about religion.
