Comments:

So, this is a movie for pre-teens and young teens. Totally not feasible, but good for a laugh. The story has a strong moral to it, lieing gets you into trouble. But, at the end, the boy doesn't get into trouble for leaving home without permission, breaking and entering, stealing and pulling many, many mean pranks. So, I wouldn't suggest getting your sense of right and wrong from this movie. But, it is really funny (if corney). So, if you're looking for a light hearted comedy, this would be for you.

Just to clarify, I did not choose to watch this movie, it was shown on the bus on the way to Atlanta. I didn't like this movie at all, it was very violent, and it was not my kind of thing to start with. It also had a lot of unnecessary things in it, such as taking the Lord's name in vein frequently. I can work past some things in movies if the story warrants it, but the story wasn't spectacular. The movie certainly wasn't the worst thing ever, but I can think of a lot better things to do or watch.
