Watch Rascals and Robbers: The Secret Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn For Free

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Such a sweet movie for kids. A timeless story, told without a lot of embellishment. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was interesting and absorbing for my nine year old in 2008, despite its vintage. He had read the book, but my younger one hadn't, and whether it was her age (5) or gender, or the fact that she didn't know the story, she was a bit less enthralled. But talk about a cast... Cynthia Nixon, Ed Begley... As for the starring roles, everyone knows Anthony Michael Hall, of course (thanks to John Hughes), but his co-star, Pat Creadon, has gone on to make the terrific documentaries "Wordplay" and "IOUSA." Both, in my book, far greater contributions to the world than AMH's body of work! Funny to see a serious filmmaker in what was probably his introduction to the industry.

A terrific little action-packed film for children, young teens and adventurists.I remember watching this film occasionally until I was in 7th grade. I just watched it this spring because I remember my imagination opening up for this adventure; that attribute makes this the best Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer screenplay.This blows "Tom and Huck" out of the water with its much better storyline, subplots and innocence that many children's films lack today. The boys do fight over the carnie's daughter. However, it's more to show the innocence that children once had at 14 and does not get in the way with the plot like "Tom and Huck" did.The movie shows it's time because of the special effects, the choreography and the adolescent Anthony Michael Hall with his mop of blond hair. (Who would have thought he would be Johnny Smith in "The Dead Zone" one day?) Hall definitely deserves credit for it being his first film he stars in. Patrick Creadon is also in this film, but I'm not as familiar with the boy.The best part of the film is when the boys are in the woods running away from con-artist Scree. They work together escaping from their bondage from Scree. If one boy is in trouble, the other bails him out. The screenplay unfolds the boys' friendship for each other, which I didn't notice until I saw it this year. Definitely recommend it for children and viewers who love adventure and living like a kid again.
