"Buddy" is a wonderful family film and it is a movie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The movie has a clear positive message and reinforces an important moral lesson. The moral lesson of the film was easy for children to understand and since it was a short film, it kept a child's attention, without a doubt. The acting in the movie was superb; the child actors were so believable and very talented. The directing was also fantastic, as was the cinematography. I have two young daughters and they both loved this film as much as I did! They wanted to watch it over and over again. Every time my daughters watched this movie, it would open up a great discussion among our family about "right and wrong" and genuine moral issues that kids can identify with in their daily lives. I really loved this movie because it was down to earth, thought-provoking, hilarious, touching, exciting, and real--all these things were contained in this one fantastic short film! I sincerely wish that there were more movies like "Buddy" out there. This is certainly a film that leaves you with a satisfied feeling, and you will be sure that you will want to watch it again too!
