My girls (ages 7,8,9) picked this movie because it had dogs in it. None of them made found it the least bit interesting. They were so bored they didn't even laugh at the farting dogs.The plot is very difficult to follow the whole bracelet thing isn't really explained and the acting is atrocious. The story strikes me as something you might read in a Jr high creative writing assignment.The cinematography looks like it was shot with a 1990s camcorder, some scenes you aren't even sure where it fits in to the story line.This is an hour and a half of my life I'll never have back. I think the people who give this movie 10s probably were involved in making it.
... View MoreThe Bracelet of Bordeaux is a must see! It is a great family movie for all! Lively adventure mystery the whole family can enjoy. The punks were hilarious. The sprouts enthusiastic. The dogs rip roaring. The two young sleuths and their pups were adorable. It was a heart warming story as the two sleuths set out to solve a mystery (or two) and along the way they also discover something about themselves. Superbly done! It is sure to put a smile on your face and laughter in your heart! It's great to see a film that young kids can enjoy. We need more family entertainment that all can enjoy! This one definitely hits the spot! Way to Go!!
... View MoreI saw this film on opening night and I'm here to say, the filmmakers did a wonderful job. Yes, they managed to put together a professional quality movie on a low budget. Yes, they got knock-out performances from a mostly amateur cast. And yes, they managed to do it all in The Woodlands, Texas, but most of all they managed to combine a compelling storyline with subject matter and comedy that the whole family can enjoy. This film features a great soundtrack and noticeably great sound. One of the greatest weaknesses of independent film is the sound. It really is what separates the men from the boys. What impressed me the most, technically, concerning The Bracelet of Bordeaux, is that it has great sound all the way through the film. You can really get lost in the story itself when there's nothing getting in the way, and with Bracelet, all you're going to hear is clarity.
... View MoreThis movie has gotten very positive reviews in the local press and from a national critic. My expectations were high, and they were fully met. We attended the movie because it stars a cute Papillon (I have two) and kids who love mystery adventures. The story kept me engaged from start to finish and the performances were excellent. My girl and boy loooved it. It was filled with many chuckles for both kids and parents. In order to understand the performances, you had to understand the type of humor and off-beat nature of the characters. The kids seemed to get it, as they laughed often and clapped enthusiastically at the end of the movie.The headline of the review from a tough movie critic in today's The Villager was "The Bracelet of Bordeaux Works Like a Charm". I agree.
