The Swiss Family Robinson (Flack’s Review)
Posted on | June 28, 2010 | Add Comments
Based on the book by Johann Wyss this movie is about a family who is shipwrecked on a desert island. To survive they eat animals, defend themselves from animals, build a tree house, find a grotto (a big cave) that they live in during the winter and much more. A girls comes and lives with them who the older boys fall in love with. Together the family must fight against pirates attacking the island.
The movie had most of the parts that are in the book but the movie adds the pirates. I liked this addition. The movie is much funnier and less serious than the book but they are both good. I recommend you read the book first.
My favorite character is Fritz because I like what he builds in the tree house and I like when he fights the pirates.
My favorite part is when they fight the pirates because it’s funny and action-packed.
MPAA Rating: G. My rating is PG for action violence, romance and brief mild language.
I rate this movie 4.9 movie reels. Too much romance!!!
