Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

stewartmbsjb This film is fantastic. The director has a wonderful imagination. Hayden Panettiere is so cute and boy can she act. Ryan Kelley is also fantastic, but i think Hayden steals the show as Melanie. The story line is a bit slow to start with, but if you keep on watching the film, you will fall in love with Hayden and the way she smiles. The only bit that i don't understand is when the Ringmaster walks over and grabs onto Ryan and tries to take him back to his house. The grandfather is superb. He is so informative. Even though he played a man with Altzheimerz disease, he is well read. Hayden P. is so hot, i would like to meet her, but if i can't get to Hollywood, i hope she could come to Australia to shoot a film.

Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) The trailers for this movie didn't really appeal to me, but as it was a Hayden movie, I ended up buying it anyway, and I don't regret it. It was a beautiful movie, with such a touching storyline, and I found myself crying at the end, because it was so sweet. I think it deals very well with the subject of loss and bereavement.Ryan Kelley and Hayden Panettiere's performances were amazing, especially Hayden's, as I love the character of Melanie, she's so sweet, and has the ability to make you laugh and cry.Yes, the storyline was a little predictable, but it didn't stop it being set out well, and performed well.

purplepuff I actually watched this movie by accident, but I loved it! Its about a boy who, after an accident, goes to a world where all people who are between life and death stay, until they are ready to take a chance and try to go back to the real world. In this world he meets his grandfather, who is sick with Alzheimer's, and a girl named Melanie, who arrived at this world in the winter, so even though its summer, for her its always winter. Melanie shows Ryan (the boy) the dust factory. SHe shows him that the only way back to the real world is to jump of a big height. If you make it to the other side, you die. If you fall, you go back healthy. After a touching story in that world, Ryan's grandfather decides to take the leap, and makes it. The Ryan takes the leap, and doesn't make it. When Ryan arrives at the real world, his neighbors come along with a girl called Melanie, who had a tumor (or something g in her brain) Of course Ryan doesn't remember her, but they fall in love all over again!:)

Gondor114 SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!"The Dust Factory", a movie written and directed by Eric Small, is a text book example of why most independent films remain independent: they are poor movies. The whole plot of this story is lacking. Two kids (Ryan Kelley & Hayden Panettiere) get trapped in some type of purgatory. However, this paradise hell, as you could call it, happens in the middle of their life!? Even the acting can't save this movie. Hayden Panettiere, the girl who braved it in the classic movie, "Remember the Titans", and the cute, "Raising Helen", is just seen dancing by herself unstop of a lake for half of the entire movie. Ryan Kelley, though brilliant in his own scenes, has no chemistry whatsoever with Ms. Panettiere. Then comes the grandpa of the male role: he is suppose the wise figure of the movie but all he does is walk into closets. However, the worst character in the book, is the villain: the evil circus guy who owns the Dust Factory. He is purely laughable! What are the good things in the movie? Nice scenery, great cinematography & the fact I only had to see this movie only once!
