Diagonaldi Very well executed

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

CindyMur "War of the buttons" is a story about a fighting of two gangs composed by kids. One gang is from Ballydowse and the other one is from Carrickdowse. Both gangs are headed by Fergus and Geronimo respectively.The "war" consists of cutting off their opponent's buttons as a trophy or a signal of victory during a battle.In "War of the buttons", the children shows us up an important organization as a common society even its background is still a kid's adventure from small towns.There's no need to find out a meaning in the battles or the scenes they play, well... it's not adventure acting neither... but I guess there is a simple suggestion about the roles of each person in a group of people summoned by the same purpose.The magic of childish minds into colorful places of Ireland makes a nice environment in the movie, despite of the fighting between them.However is an entertaining story about love, family, forgiveness, courage, betrayals, friendship and support; held by a cute frame of kid's brightness.I really recommend you guys to check it out if you haven't seen it.

Bruce Jones Wonderful, interesting story of a growing rivalry between young boys in two neighboring Irish small towns. This film is supposed to be based on the book, "La Guerre Des Boutons" by Louis Pergaud. The story, casting, acting and locations were perfect. One strong suit is the beautiful scenery filmed on location in Ireland. I really like this film. It seems few people who reviewed it actually watched it as none of the reviews I read even matched the film's content. I would have liked to have seen the one big battle scene played down as it seemed a bit over the top but other than that this was a pure joy to watch.

Mustard Seed I didn't expect much from this film when I rented it. Another Improbable Hero Kid movie?The fine point of it is: No. If you run screamin' at the mention of Home Alone or Goonies, you needn't be afraid of a movie like this.The kids impart a genuine, unself-conscious mood to everything in the film, contributing in large part to its subtle and pervasive good humor. I marvelled at the creativity of the Ballydowse kids, and was at the same time satisfied that their rivals were never reduced to mindless obstacles to rouse our sympathy.As we can see the war from the kids' view, we can see its reflection in their parents, and of course, in adults everywhere. But the film keeps its subtlety here too; we're never beaten over the head with the analogy, but given the right views to delight in it - their creativity and intelligence belongs to all ages.My one reservation is the soundtrack; it's manipulative and lacks the subtlety of the rest of it.Three favorite scenes: Little Con breaking his eggs and marooned for a bit with the Carrick boys, the teacher translating Riley's passed note, and the carousal and tractor.

darth_sidious One of the great things about being a kid is that you get away with a lot, growing up is an adventure, gangs, silly jokes etc. Okay, maybe you can't get away with it all.This picture is an adventure for 2 gangs who hate each other, one poor, one rich. Which is good and evil? Actually, the line is blurred, no one is evil, yet no one is good. It's not all adventure, there are dark moments. The film is a joy to watch, it brings back memories for us adults.The picture's location is stunning, Ireland is such a great place, the countryside and simplicity is brought to life by stunning direction and beautiful photography.A very good screenplay as well.The performances are stunning, you believed that the kids were fighting each other, you believed in their emotions, great stuff!A must watch!
