In my 8th grade English class, my students read O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief," every year. The kids LOVE the story, and laugh right out loud. When I showed the video in class, they were extremely disappointed. The movie is quite different from the short story. It's a cute little movie, but it in no way compares to reading the selection orally in class. They thought the movie was fun, but they were looking for it to be much closer to the real thing. However, my kids learned a valuable lesson that made my heart SING!....The book is ALWAYS better than the movie!

It's a fun family film packed with laughs.
Received it in the advertised condition.

The video is adorable; I showed it to my students after reading the short story in class. It arrived a day late, even though I paid the extra money for quicker delivery, and the disk gets stuck and skips.
Since I couldn't find the movie anywhere in town, I guess that "beggars can't be choosers!"

The DVD wasn't like the story very much but it was still fun to watch. Haley Joel Osment was really cute--what a character!

This is a wonderful movie that can be enjoyed by all ages. I purchased it, however, to show to my English classes after reading the story and found that it veered from O. Henry's original short story too much to be able to use it as a teaching tool. Nonetheless, it is indeed more interesting than the original.
