5.0 out of 5 stars Great family film!, May 26, 2009

This review is from: Labou (DVD)

Labou is a really fun adventure film that appeals to the kid in all of us. I watched it with my 8-year old niece and a few of her friends and we absolutely loved it!

The story (about 3 kids in search of lost pirate treasure) is heartfelt, the characters are genuine (and some quite hilarious), and, perhaps most importantly, the plot line incorporates life lessons on the value of friendship, trust and perseverance that every kid should experience. Labou, the mystical swamp creature that is at the center of the film, is compelling and funny, and adds a fantasy element to the story that tugs at the imagination and makes us all wish we were kids again.

Kudos to MGM for continuing its tradition of providing fresh, wholesome family entertainment that we can all enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Kid's Movie, June 18, 2009

This review is from: Labou (DVD)

My 7 year old son gave this movie 5 stars. He's watching it right now - again - and laughing. What's not to like? A ghost, pirates, hidden treasure, kid heroes, idiot bad guys, action, suspense, friendship, humor, lessons learned, and of course the lovable Labou.

4.0 out of 5 stars My 8 year old LOVED it, March 5, 2010

This review is from: Labou (DVD)

My eight year old boy LOVED this movie. He thought Labou was ADORABLE and thought the high jinks in the story were hilarious. As a parent, I did NOT like how the one boy seemed to be saying things like "Idiot!" and "Losers!" to the other kids. He was a total brat for most of the movie. Adults and teens would see that he was "all talk" but younger kids wouldn't catch on to it. They would just see a mean kid who the other two kids continue wanting to be friends with.

But all in all, it is fairly harmless and has a "save the environment" theme because the little creature Labou is in danger of losing his habitat. So the kids end up trying to find the treasure AND save the swamp. Fairly simplistic plot but enjoyable for my 8 year old.

My son is afraid of ghosts but was not scared by Captain LaRouge, except for a couple times that he jumped out unexpectedly. I was happy about this because oftentimes he gets scared after seeing movies or shows dealing with ghosts.

My son was so taken with this movie that we have already ordered a t-shirt with Labou's picture on it. He was very disappointed that we could not order a Labou stuffed animal. :)
