Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Writer-director Stephen Sommers has made a conventional literal film, in which the acting of the two leads never rises above the mediocre, thus failing to endow the tale with the stirring mood that it deserves.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
A really enjoyable film, and a loyal recreation of the literary classic
-
Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
Twain's text defies all efforts to translate onto film. Without Huck's subjective narrative, the subtler points fall flat, leaving a drained and empty children's movie in its place.
