Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

paulpanzer300 After watching the first ten minutes of the movie, I didn't expect much, but my opinion changed quickly.The two main characters of the movie, Mickybo and Jonjo, are impressive actors and act amazing for their age. Both of them grow up under the influence of a war between two cultures, but under various conditions. Jonjos family is rich , but Mickybos family is poor and only has, what they seriously need. Because of their big imagination they want to be like the main characters of a wild western movie. They run away from home and experience great adventures.At all it would be a great choice to watch the movie,especially because of the funny scenes, So don't wait and watch it.

gap8350 It was really a big problem for me to understand the talking from the people in this film. English is English and Australians speak a special way. However I managed to understand the plot and follow through. It is a great story told in a very familiar way but very serious. The problems exposed are not being solved and catholic and protestant will continue to discuss them but this type of film serves to tell us what a waste of time, lives and resources is to continue with the religion kit. We are in 2006 and going to the moon, etc and still thinking that one way is better than the other.I will buy the DVD because I can have English substitles. Notwithstanding, it is a remarkable good film. GAP

bigdave11 Agree with all the previous positive comments about this terrific, underrated little movie. Julie Walters is as always quite wonderful in her role, but the movie is of course stolen by the 2 young leads who display a wonderfully natural talent in roles which could have been written for them. This take us back to more innocent times when young lads were more interested in cowboys than girls. I's particularly poignant that it is set amidst the tragic troubles which blighted Belfast for so long.In reply to the earlier reviewer wondering when it will be released on DVD I have some good news. Unlikely as it may seem it's just been released by Universal DVD Germany under the title 'Mickybo & Ich'. It's a Region 2 & 4 release with a variety of audio and subtitle choices. Should be easily available from Amazon.de.

pascal77-1 Just take it as it is. Too many people are judgmental.I don't see why this movie did not rate higher. Not all bad came out of that period during the 70's. I expected it to end badly but it did have an upturn at the end. I thank the people who voted in more for its favor.My only complaint was I could not understand the speech patterns of the kids.I am going to try and find out more about it on the net to see more about the two fine boy actors.It did have a few scenes that were out of place but I still rate it 10 in my book.
