Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
The movie's title and DVD cover kept catching my attention at the movie store. I finally rented it and was not disappointed. I watched it without having heard about the book or anything so I went in unbiased. On its own, I'd say it was quite intriguing. It kept you guessing... even after it ended. The ending was rather unclear, but fascinating and puzzling in a good way. I'd say, if you have read the book, don't spoil the movie for somebody else because you did not think the movie gave the book justice. Just judge the movie on its own. Sure it was low budget, but just appreciate it for its good points--the intriguing plot, the beautiful scenery, and the intense emotion. Over all, I would recommend this movie to anyone who is able to branch out and be adventurous. Just watch it and see if you like it. Judge for yourself.
While not a perfect film, it had a lot of film elements that came together quite nicely. The spoiler of this *** AND DON'T READ ON IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE TWIST *** is how much the subject matter was similar to A Beautiful Mind. Creating people, places and events all in the subconscious. The Vermont locations were fabulous. I don't think had this film been made elsewhere, there wouldn't have been that solitude of a young man, his bike and a mysterious wrapped gift he's taking to his father. Scenes with town folk and some local bullies may have been slight plot devices, but that is entirely miniscule compared to how they move the story along. I Am The Cheese (a metaphor title-listen to The Farmer In The Dell nursery rhyme throughout the film) has an independent feel to it and it's obvious low budget gives it a "you-are-there-on-those-old-roads-in-Vermont" feel. I'm curious to know why Robert Wagner, fresh from his successful "Hart To Hart" series, took on this film.
Not only did this movie have bad acting. But yet it was boring. I read the book in school and found the book really interesting and good. But this...goodness they tried to change some things...they changed the ending. i give this movie sadly... 3 out of 10... and least they tried.
this was an outstanding film with some very funny moments. it was one of the classic films of the eighties and i'm suprised that no one else has reviewed this classic tale.this film is a must for all the families so rush out and rent it now. you wont want to take it back10 out of 10
