Editorial Reviews

Actors: Max Wright, Polly Holliday, Huckleberry Fox, Ned Beatty, Virginya Keehne, Michael Ruud, Nancy Borgenicht, Jeff Olson, Corliss Dale, Scott Nemes. Konrad is a "factory-made" child, perfect in every way who is delivered to the wrong person who will not give him back. The moral is sweet and entertaining. Polly Holiday's performance as Konrad's hapless hippie mom is especially natural and memorable. Creative and amusing. Watch it with a child! Konrad Based on the novel by Chris Noestlinger

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 31, 2002

"cleokid" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Konrad [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When i was in elementary school, i was in a program for advanced students. we watched this at the end of every year, and we looked forward to it every year. it was one of my fondest memories of that program. six years later, i finally found it and ordered it, and watching it brings back all of those great memories. sure, the story is totally out of whack, but the message that the story conveys is great. it doesnt matter who you are or who your parents are, but if you have someone that loves you and takes care of you, it is the greatest thing in the world. i'd reccomend it to anyone, and only hope it becomes more available in the future because i know of a few friends who want their own copies...

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, but above all just a really neat story, January 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Konrad [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this on WonderWorks/PBS when it came out, when I was the same age as most of the cast, and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time. Even though it is a children's story, it appeals to any age. There is humor throughout the entire movie, but above all it's just a really neat story (too good to give away). If you're into science fiction you'll like the concept, but even if you aren't, you'll still enjoy Konrad. Don't just take my word for it. The Chicago Tribune called it "One of the best children's videos you'll ever see, guaranteed to delight."

This review is from: Konrad [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this when I was the same age as most of the cast. Now I'm 24 and this is still my favorite movie. All the actors are excellent. Even though it is for children, it appeals to all ages. There is humor throughout the entire movie, but above all it is just a really neat story. If you're into science fiction you'll like the concept, and even if you aren't you'll still enjoy Konrad.
