Editorial Reviews

Three sensitive children form a bond of friendship on a magic island: 18 year-old Simon, his 10 year-old mute brother, Mario, and a charming teen-ager named Helen. When Simon becomes infatuated with the lovely Helen, Mario becomes jealous, fearing separation from his older brother. Mario plots to destroy the feelings of Simon and Helen. Eventually the brothers' feelings are resolved, and they grow into a deeper level of understanding. One of the most beautifully photographed films ever made!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, December 21, 2000

This review is from: Mario:the Mario Lemieux Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Don't be fooled by other comments. This video is old, but it says that at the top where it clearly reads this was produced in 1992. All of the footage is before Lemieux won his first cup, but some very interesting footage from junior hockey which clearly shows how good he was and was dominating some of the other kids in the league. It goes very in-depth into the classic Canada Cup in which Canada defeated the Soviet Union in 3 games. Not for everyone, but if you are a true hockey and Mario Lemieux fan, than this is pretty good.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't be fooled; this is a very old video, April 19, 2000

This review is from: Mario:the Mario Lemieux Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a real hockey fan and after buying the great video "Wayne Gretzky - above and beyond" I thought that the Maria Lemieux story would be a similar video: the highlights of a miracle hockey carreer. Well, big disappointments are coming your way when you buy this video. It is all ancient stuff, Mario had not even won his first Stanley Cup when this video was shot. Look at it as a video about Mohammed Ali, which stops just before he wins his Olympic medal. But when you are into antiques, well, this is the video you want.
