Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A Major Disappointment

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I just watched this movie on HBO and loved the story as well as the scenery. I can not understand how a person like remobec can go into extensive details on how things are wrong with this very nicely made film. You have to take it for what it is worth a very nice remake of an old remake of the original silent film and Novel as well.Do not pay attention to someone who bases his whole post on ripping apart a very nice and heart warming family film

I have just received this film on DVD from the USA, This is a warm hearted film about his a boy who has come to the Isle of Man to live with his grandfather.The film is set in the north of the Isle of Man and the views it shows will bring back memories of those that have left the island. The film is very well acted by all that took part.I recommend this a first class family film.

This is an excellent family film which sadly enough has not been rated with the same publicity as films out of the US, i.e. HOME ALONE. Personally, I feel that in the making of OWD BOB, the realistic story line which one can relate to plus the magnificent views should be able to hit our cinemas and deserve some credibility.The content of this film can be compared to BABE but at the end of the day, OWD BOB shows life in reality but is also pleasing to watch and our children should be able to enjoy a film without having to be constantly entertained with the extremes, i.e SPACE JAM. I personally really enjoyed SPACE JAM but the contents are of course unreal.I happened to watch OWD BOB which was shown on our TV this evening, only because of the write-up describing it being based in the Isle of Man. Having lived for a number of years in the U.K. this therefore 'took my eye'. What pleasure it was and definitely worth recommending as a good Friday evening family film with your hot chocolate and biccies.

I`ve seen the movie on ppv and there I only watched because of James Cromwell and Colm Meany (I'm a Trekker!). But then I began to forget about their roles in DS9. This movie takes you into the story like no other film! If you like films like this or not, watch it!
