I remember being a crazed teenybopper fan of Jtt and Devon and dragged my two best friends to see this in the movie theaters when it came out. We were the only three people there which was cool cause we had a big theater to oursleves but sad because no one else would go see this film and it was out of the movies with two weeks of it being released. I can't even remember what happens in this film. So I was wondering how many people did actually go see this in the theaters. I don't think it made any money at all.

I think like 15 people saw this movie. The only reason any guy has seen it is because a girl in his life made him. The fake bears at the end were terrible. And what was up with the cursing? Do they think 10 year olds need to here that? This movie is on my top 5 worst movies ever list. Easily.

There is one other reason: I was a projectionist at the time and watched it. I got a kick outa the kid shooting movies. Still have the promotional t-shirt they gave the staff members. I thought it would be a big grosser but it died for us.

It was on the CW on Saturday... I watched it and it wasn't too bad of a movie actually.

[–] HuskersNC949597 17 years ago

I didn't see it in the theaters, but my brother-in-law worked on the set (the only prop he stole was a lamp) so I watched it on VHS. It's not too bad, as I recall.

I haven't seen this movie since I was five and now I'm nearly 15. I remember I loved this movie and plus I remember my sister had a crush on Devon Sawa and I had a crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I really need to rent this movie again.

I was 12 when the movie came out. I conned my dad into taking my best friend and me to the theater to see it on the opening weekend. My friend and I both had crushes on JTT and Devon. I don't really remember how many people were in the theater when I went, but I know I loved the movie and still do.

I love this movie. And i certainly didnt have a chrush on any of the guys, i love it for its adventureness and plot. It has inspired me to be a filmaker.

I saw this film when i was 8, i had the chicken pox and rented it, i then received it for christmas

[–] NellieKaye 16 years ago

I had a huge crush on Devon Sawa when I was younger, due to the 'Casper' craze. So naturally, I had to buy the tape when I saw it advertised on tv. I was about 13 or 14 then, I think. It was more than I expected it to be, a good mix of humor, brotherly bonding, action and sweet moments that made it worthwhile for me. I loved how they got to accomplish their dream and realizing what was more important in the end.

Forgot if I saw it in theaters, but I remember watching it on home video and thought it was a really great film- saw it again and it still holds up.

The movie had a great brother's story, a great adventure, and very relatable characters.

I'm a film student now and having watched it again recently I think it may have been one of the films to lead me in this direction.

used to watch it a lot when i was younger. nice flick.

[–] Ydoodle01 16 years ago

I was 14 when this movie came out and my best friend and I saw it twice in the theatres. We loved JTT some much and the fact that him and Devon Sawa were going to be in the same movie was very exciting.
