Buffalo Dreams (2005)

Please don't spend money on this.

Overrated and overhyped

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I am the husband of Elva Nava, who played the stunt double for Scout in this film. I was there, and saw her riding so close to the buffalo who were herded by a helicopter. This is something we will never forget. It was totally insane, the crew deserves a huge credit for ensuring my wife's safety and that of the other stunt doubles. These were real, live, wild, viciously angry, raging, multi thousand pound, snorting, killers ready to trample whatever gets in their way, i.e. people making a movie. You can clearly see her face in the group shots of the bikers. Also you can see some great side shots that to me are clearly Elva. Anyway, she looked just like Scout on camera even though she was 21 years old at the time. I hope to get a chance to see her do some other stunt parts. She is a real tough Latina. I hope you like her work. Thanks,Johnny-Mack Barlow

I really liked this movie! It's a D.C.O.M. (Disney Channel Original Movie) which are pretty good. It's about a family with an only child named Josh. The father of the family gets a job as a scientist and is supposed to move out near some Navajo Indian land. Josh meets a couple guys that become his friends. It's a good story to watch and follow. The parents are portrayed to be loving, caring people for their child. Josh becomes involved with a BMX race with some people that he wanted to make friends with and ends up hurting his true friends in the movie. I like the relationship between the native-American people, the white man, and the buffaloes in this one.

I really enjoyed "Buffalo Dreams." It has been a while since Disney Channel has produced a movie that has focused on cultures. I really liked how they had a family who did not know much at all about Native Americans move into a town that was primarily Navajo. It also gave the viewers a little more knowledge on how some Navajo live.The casting for this movie was excellent. No one could have played Thomas like Simon Baker. He did a GREAT job. And Grahme Greene was a very good choice for the role of the grandfather. He is such a wonderful actor.This was very well done and I recommend it to anyone who likes Disney Channel original movies.

Buffalo Dreams was so much better than I thought it would be! I thought this movie would be a wild west movie but it was pretty cool. The main character Josh is a BMX rider and Thomas is a worker. Thomas, Scout, his little sister, and Moon must teach Josh how to respect the Navajo traditions. Thomas, who is Navajo, doesn't like his culture, while Moon, who isn't Navajo, wishes he could be. Scout can't talk, but she finally does in the end so she can save her brother from a terrible death. This movie shows how two different people can help each other in weird ways. People develop a lifetime of friendship in weird ways! Things happen in mysterious ways.
