Customer Reviews

Great family movie
I thought this was a great family movie. While it won't hold the attention of the younger kids, older children will enjoy it. The acting is wonderful, especially the "young lass", what a great part for her. Too bad about the cynical review earlier, but that's what I expect from profession movie critics, they are out to pick apart the film itself, where I am looking for entertainment factor for myself and for my family. As for MY family, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Bless the Beast and child
Although not Oscar material with the script, this film makes up for it with the acting by a little girl, her lonely mother, and their colorful and ambient patrons of their little hotel and pub in Scotland. The hotel is closed for the season, but Danson makes the mother an offer she can't refuse...they could really use the Yank's money. Danson plays a scientist that had lost his credibility but who is now 'volunteered' by his University and sent to Scotland to find proof that Nessie does exist. Of course Danson's character wants to disprove it-with an attitude problem. Even though he doesn't believe in Nessie, there are those locals that would scuttle his hi-tech research anyway. The little girl, liking Danson's character, trusting him, and seeing that he'd be good for her mother...she's a bit psychic..and trusting him, takes him to enjoy her secret place. An underground cavern and its inhabitants shocks him beyond his wildest imagination. Now Danson's character must choose between fame and glory, or leaving the Loch the way it was always meant to be...peaceful. The wrong choice and he loses the ones that he loves, and those who love him. It's a colorful piece with wonderful acting and equally wonderful music. It is a great family movie where the ending leaves you with a warm heart and a smile. For the price of one movie ticket, you can entertain the whole family...and maybe some friends.

Great Nessie Movie
