Search - The Legend of Cryin' Ryan/In the Shadows on DVD

Excellent fun family film -(would be 5 with a better budget)

"For a low budget film, it was excellent in content, depth and had an easy, flowing plot! A legend of a boy who was known to cry all the time, a mystery and a climax to remind us things aren't always what they seem on the outside from rumors, stories and legends. There are real people with real experiences often misunderstood behind them. Lessons for life as well as entertainment. Imagine if In The Light Entertainment had a huge budget for new productions what a refreshing change from all the negativity in so many movies today. Positive, courageous, compelling to deal with negative life circumstances and turn them into positive (though fictional) adventure. If we all had the guts to act do what was right, even when it's hard, we might make a positive difference in our society. The leads were excellent and overall, the supporting actors were fair. Reminds you of a time when we could go visit friends and have fun and adventure without too much danger of deviates praying on us. Too bad our own children can't enjoy the same freedom in this place called America. Let me know if there are any places like that left!"
