War of the Buttons (1994)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I think that the movie is pretty good, because this entertains and too tells a short story that it is very impressive and strange if you don't put attention and for this reason mahy people don't understand the movie. My opinion about the movie don't only it is limited to the excellent argument but also what I understood about this. The movie show us like two group of children have a war and when a band lose a battles ( not the war), someone of the warriors lose his buttons. I wanna speak about the conviction that all boys put in the battles and the group's work. I believe that this conviction is the necessary for to make many things and these boy demonstrate us when they made their general quarter.In this movie we can also see the personal interest of some people like the child that he is fired of the group because he was sluggish and he wanted the buttons single for his, and like he destroyed the general quarter for his expulsion. Thus, I think that many people react when they are threatened although they don't nothing for nobody.In conclusion I like the movie I recommend and my vote is ten points.

Tag line:Why are we fighting? Nothing, Why else?I think the film is very interesting because it talks about the adolescents' life, which is a very complicated issue. The film shows how the adolescents can be very creative and risky in order to reach their goals and likes. Nevertheless these goals are not commonly related to their personal growing. These are often related to their need to figure between other ones. The stage of the film is very appropriate, because it develops on a power and honor's fight between two groups. The ambition is so much that they are involved easily in a war without end, but the most interesting part is when the groups' leaders don't realize why are they fighting. Which reveals the natural behavior of the adolescents (They do whatever, but don't measure the consequences). By Julián Valencia

I enjoyed this one a lot! That's basically due to the amount of kids and the depiction of the Irish countryside as the main setting. All the actors - without exception - do a perfect job. I especially liked the moldering tension between Geronimo and Fergus, the two leaders. The way the two gangs clash into each other is both amusing and absorbing. The movie has a tremendous amount of natural, genuine charm to it. It is both sincere and blithe. There ought to be more movies like this one. Entertaining and intriguing at the same time, with some nice twists and unexpected events. The cultural dimension, as the movie takes place in Ireland, is another argument to see it. Friendship and fidelity are some of the main themes. Just to recommend for an entertaining evening.

I was so board but curious as to what would happen to these boys next. It was like watching a train wreck I couldn't take my eyes off of it.I did like the ending though. It was very cute. I'm still trying to decide whether i liked it or not. I think that maybe I did. The War of the Buttons is the type of movie you watch on on a rainy day just because there is nothing better to watch on TV, and you're too lazy to put a video in. The actors were talented for their age. If you like movies like The Black Stallion, then this movie is perfect for you.
