I can't imagine any parent not liking this film for their kids. It's all about friendship, supporting each other and overcoming the biases of candyasses in the world that just can't seemingly get over themsleves, thinking they know it all about life. Simply put, someone not liking this little movie for families and kids, must not be a very good family friendly or kid friendly member ofsociety. Our children enjoyed the kids beating up and taking over the motorcycle gang. Yes, as silly as it was, was cute and funny. A couple of the motorcycle guys were actually funny too. And NO, there wasn't any foul language like a prior critic stated

My husband and I rented the movie after reading a few reviews suggesting that it was "Kid-Friendly" and it was. The characters (bikers) are all goofy and fun, except for the main biker. The Scouts were all very cute and funny and it looked like they had a lot of fun making the movie.Most children's movies almost always have moments where you hope that your kid didn't understand the dialogue or the innuendo, but this movie didn't have any of those.We would rate this movie as safe for 5 and older. younger kids might probably wouldn't understand it but there's a couple moments when the main biker slaps the step-father in the movie and ties-up the his ex-wife and step-father.Other than that, our children seemed to enjoy it.

Very rarely has our family been able to view a movie together and the whole family (all 7 of us) could be entertained and enjoyed together. Yet this family movie, takes-on issues a lot of mixed-families deal with. Step parents, loyalties to biological parents and then some.Strangely enough, on several of our family vacations to the State of Florida, we have actually visited one of the location sites in the movie. The live museum called Heritage Village in Largo Florida. Heritage Village is a outdoor parcel of land that has homes and buildings (a Grocery Mart, a Post Office and a beautiful Church from the early 1900's) that have been preserved and restored, having historical value, from the area. The storyline of the movie was also very heartwarming. A makeshift family containing a stepfather, his wife and the woman's son from a previous marriage. The young lad's biological father desires to have his son back, so he and his motorcycle gang of goof-ball (Pro Athletes) bikers, battle the family's scouting troop. The message comes in the decision the young lad makes to remain with his mother and stepfather, stead of departing with his biological father.Lovely and endearing.

I read several reviews that included this chaps name James Fitzpatrick, so I thought I would slip-on over to Netflix and view his children's film Production, The Adventure Scouts, which the chap wrote-produced-directed...and I found his tale of family and friendship, just as inspirational as the handicapped dolphin Winter, with a bit more humor, mind you.Mr Fitzpatrick once again portrayed the paternal character in the film, yet with a bit more tongue and cheek involved and performed the role with an ease. It appears that several other actors have appeared in numerous Productions with Mr Fitzpatrick. Actors Corbin Timbrook and Jodi Knotts, specifically. I am guessing peers and/or cohorts.All in all, I enjoyed the flicker.
