A great story

A great film based on a true story of the life of a group of friends growing up in the slums of Rio. Drawn into a violent life of crime, drugs and murder from a young age. The way it charts the life of the friends and brothers through the years and how their actions effect them in the future is very well done. A very entertaining film!

Funny and sad

Super. This novel is written with a first person childhood narration. Whilst this is problematic with regards to the authenticity of McCourts memory, you can not criticise him for his portrayal of childhood innocence. The novel is fantastic, great visual images, told from a convincing narrator, covering topics such as religion, poverty, alcoholism, hunger, death and growing up. I just loved it.

This is a fun family film (0 more)

This is a fun family film. It did a respectable take on keeping with the show and growing so that parents and teens could enjoy this as well. The actors did a great job. It was hokey and fun. If you didn't grow up with the show or watched it with younger siblings/children you aren't lost in in-jokes. Highly recommend.
