Charlie Sheen, Flora Alberti, Jade Magrid

You'd never guess it from the title, but Courage Mountain is a sequel to children's classic, Heidi. In this handsome production, filmed in Europe and set during World War I, a teenaged H...( read more  read more... )eidi (Juliette Caton) leaves Switzerland to attend school in Italy. Things go wrong from the start. The other girls make fun of her country ways, then the school is seized by the army. Due to a misunderstanding, Heidi and several classmates are separated from their beloved headmistress (Leslie Caron) and sent to an Oliver Twist-like orphanage. Fortunately, they're able to escape. Using her mountaineering skills, Heidi leads them on an expedition across the Alps to her grandfather's house. Charlie Sheen, who plays her sweetheart Peter, acquits himself nicely as a soldier who assists the girls, but his American accent sounds out of place. Odd casting aside, this family adventure is faithful to the spirit of the original story. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    Say what you will, but I liked it, even if Charlie Sheen does appear in the Swiss alps via American accent.

    The older I get the sillier and worse this movie becomes. I loved it as a teen girl...but now years later, its become kind of a cute concept with little else going for it.

    Actually a very good film, although Sheen's casting seems a bit odd. There is one thing that bothers me, what happens to the little boy?
