3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Decent Movie For 1994, December 28, 2011
This review is from: The Paper Boy (Amazon Instant Video)
This movie, The Paper Boy, was pretty decent for the year 1994. The picture and acting quality could have been improved but still pretty good. The twelve year old held his own and could have gone far, but through my search he really hasn't done much since this role - which is a shame - the older women who they called 'The Witch" her acting was great. This was a great. The daughter was really good in her role. The mother was okay in her role too. I think you'd be better off watching this movie for the $2.99 because it's worth it, but please don't purchase it.
