Editorial Reviews

Starring Anson Williams; John Martin; James Earl Jones. "His parents should stop this foolishness," Brian's Zimmerman's opponent tells the audience during an election debate. You see, the sleepy, little town of Crabb, Texas, needs a mayor and Brian thinks he's "the man" for the job. But is he? Is it really possible that an 11-year-old boy could get elected mayor of a town, and if he did, would he have what it takes to do a good job? With the help of his parents and friends, Brian makes history when he becomes the youngest mayor ever elected. Based on a true story, the "Lone Star Kid" is an inspiring movie showing the potential for good that even a kid can have on his community.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Family Movie, April 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lone Star Kid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The editor's review above is incorrect--this film has nothing to do with Mississippi. The Lone Star Kid is about a compassionate eleven year old boy who becomes mayor of a small town in Texas when he witnesses an accident and a death due to lack of ambulance services. He is determined to bring big-town services to his small town. This movie is based on a true story and contains an excellent performance by James Earl Jones. If nothing else, it's worth watching for the score which is written and performed by Charlie Daniels.
