5.0 out of 5 stars And you thought gremlins were trouble..., January 31, 2003

This review is from: Lawrenceville Stories Mini Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Starring Zach Galligan of "Gremlins" and "Waxworks" fame, "The Lawrenceville Stories" are an innocent and impish foray into the friendships and rivalries of silver-tongued "Hickey" Hicks (Galligan), entrepreneur Doc Macnooder (Albert Schultz), and the sly Tennessee Shad (Nicholas Rowe). Set in a turn-of-the-century boarding school, these American Playhouse adaptations of Owen Johnson's "The Prodigious Hickey" and "The Tennessee Shad" are gently funny programmes suitable for the whole family. Movies which do books justice are few and far between, but when you have such fine actors in roles replete with witty dialogue and good-natured pranks, it's easy to overlook a plot change or two... Well worth the purchase if you're a fan of PBS programming.

I saw this mini series years and years ago and it has always had a special place in my heart. Based on the amazing writings of Owen Johnson, this film is entertaining, funny, witty and loads of fun! I recommend it for the entire family!

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Disney Mini-Series, July 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lawrenceville Stories (Collector's Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This 3 part mini-series is about students at the Lawrenceville School. As a former student there, i found the film most interesting. Unfortunately, it is a way more innocent version of my high school experience. It is still entertaining. The antics of Hickey, Doc McNooter and Tennessee Shad are quite fun while the Headmaster fights to keep it all together. An enjoyable 3 hours.
