hyped garbage

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is a movie for the whole family - make some popcorn - gather the kids - sit back and enjoy a wonderful story with a great message for everyone - There is humor, kids, animals and love - a great combination for a simple story - protect each other and love each other - who doesn't like that message? If you like animals you are sure to love Marshall - he brings together a mother and son and the new love of Mom's life - he changes a hoarder's attitude - and he puts a big smile on everyone's face.This movie brings back some simple ideas - treat each other well - know that there are tough times - work to understand each other and Never let anyone or anything be bullied!Ghandi said something to the effect that you can tell a lot about a nation by the way it treats its animals.

I loved it so much! It is great for kids and adults, and especially for a family movie! totally worth your money!!! It is an animal loving, kids movie that is great for all ages. I Love the story line and the actors were great but the thing that I liked most was the message that it told. This movie targets the idea of how we need to stop bullying, And I think that that is a great message status shown two young kids especially because we need to attack that problem. I have watched it over and over again, and it never stops being great. Kids will love this movie so much, and you will too. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

I find myelf constantly trying to find something to watch as a family - It's always a tough choice between some lame Japanimation and a live-action movie for older audiences, the kind I have to make my own BLEEP sounds to cover up the gratuitous bad language. This is a movie you can all watch. The story is about overcoming adversity, difficulty of fitting in and bullying... themes that can be relevant to your kids and can be a good conversation starter.Do you like movies like "My Dog Skip" and "A Christmas Story"? Do you miss the days when you could turn on the TV on Sunday evening and have (a pre-Snake Plisken) Kurt Russell entertain everyone? Then this could be for you.Sure, it's no "Citizen Kane", but the story line moves along well enough to keep you interested and your kids entertained. The only disturbing moment is the scene where Travis has to put down a rabies infected-foaming-at-the-mouth Marshall before he rips anyone's throat out... (oh wait, that was "Old Yeller" - nevermind).Some really decent acting by kids (which is always a pleasant surprise) and we really liked the performance of Bill Chott as "Gary". He played the well-meaning-but-grumpy-enabler-husband to a seemingly-always-drunk-animal-hoarding wife "Susan", played convincingly (as if she was totally hammered in real life) by Lauren Holly.TLDR; If your kids too young for Bruce Campbell movies and you can't sit through another showing of "Frozen" check out "Marshall's Miracle". It really is a good family friendly movie.
