Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

killerquean Sad to say that a movie with David Carradine and Wes Studi could be a Xmas turkey. The kids are constantly mugging (as opposed to acting), "Wyoming" in December replete with cacti and sunny, snow-free landscape(?!!)--all the stock characters of a Fifties Western are here, but not even John Wayne could have rescued this movie.Michael Parks is the only actor who is really trying, the rest are very trying, indeed. If you want to see the principal players (Carradine & Studi) working their full range of ability, rent/buy "Commanche Moon" or "Bound for Glory". You can catch glimpses here of Studi at least trying to inhabit the role of a very amateur effort. Yes, if you want a G-rated movie for young children, this would work. Sadly, Nicholas the dog gets better direction and lines than his fellow actors. The notable exception is the mustachioed stage driver (Buck Taylor), who appeared in a supporting role in a fantastic Western-- "Tombstone" as Turkey Creek Jack Johnson.If you're looking for something uplifting, get "Little House on The Prairie" or "Dr Quinn", which appear to be the inspiration for this movie-of-the-week knock-off. This was one of a triptych of movies (three movie set for $5), which says it all. Rent this for the kiddies, if you're into faith-based fare, then go out and get a real Western where the actors get to shine, e.g.,any of the Lonseome Dove mini-series, "Tombstone", "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee", or even "Hidalgo", a great family movie which slipped under the radar a few years back.

duboiskowtoe This was, to put it lightly, unwatchable garbage.My crap detector first went to orange alert when the two boys look for fire wood by sitting down and picking up the sticks in there immediate area and pile them together. This was then followed by a gun fight where people take cover behind barren shrubbery and don't get shot. Not only do they not get shot, they add in rickashay sound effects meaning that they aren't just retardedly bad shots, but the twigs are actually blocking to bullets.Who ever directed this film should be black listed and maybe checked for Alzheimer's or blindness.

SteveEshleman Michael Landon's "Little House on the Prairie" is similar in concept, and "Miracle at Sage Creek" producers should have watched a few of those shows to learn how to make a viewer's heart feel a story. And too many production liberties were taken. For example, the only thing cold about the weather was the conversations about how cold it was.I like a "feel-good" story, but it needed more showing and less telling. The characters simply were not developed very well, so it was difficult to share their troubles or feel great about the resolutions of those troubles. And time was wasted on meaningless "excusions". For example, we were given a rather lengthy introduction to the Judge's wife early, and then she never reappeared.This is the kind of movie I like and pull for, but this one was B Rated at best.

crossedarrowsnm A step back in time richly done not only in the actor portrayals but in the cinematography as well. Wes Studi and David Carradine were expertly cast in their roles as were the kids. Great job kids! Also appreciated is the attention to detail. This was living history at its best. The life lessons that abound were not only good for us old folks but for the kids as well. I see this show as an "evergreen", something we could develop a tradition around viewing at Christmas each year. Mostly though it was so nice to be able to sit through this family oriented movie with my 12 year old daughter for the entire picture without having to worry. Watched it a second time with a bunch of grizzly old cowboys and their wives from nearby ranches and enjoyed it just as much. Looking forward to more good things from Talmarc and company.
