Criticism
" Film adaptation of a children's book, despite a few serious scenes, the story of the" " above all very entertaining told. " Wild child
" Fun, exciting, neither sentimental nor silly Youth Adventure drama with quite funny moments about a free-born boy who is super villains such as village Sheriff Clint Howard ( " Blubberella " ) can say anything. Hard subjects are not spared, John Goodman shines in a court scene, but the heart of the film beats in the turbulent chases in the wilderness where the boy the cop completely moderate Rambo shows where the rubber meets the road. Great fun for kids, the parents do not need to be afraid. "
