Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the very last scene in "Dutch", when Dutch shoots Doyle in the backside with his airgun, the sound you hear sounds somewhat like an airgun going off, but then a split second later you hear the unmistakable metal "clinking" of a spent shell casing hitting a concrete, tile or otherwise hard surface. more

A great film that never gets old, 5 April 2005
Author: OliverGbyrne-1 from United States

I have watched this film so many time and I'm so happy that it finally came out on DVD(I actually never taught it would but thanks to "Anchor bay entertainment" it did) The trailer of the movie describe really well what the movie is about "The story of a boy who lost the child in himself and the man that helps him find it". It's my favorite movie written by John Huges and I'm a big John Huges fan. Ethan Randall/Embry plays his part really well,he was perfect for the role of Doyle,he made the transition between the angry rude Doyle of the beginning of the film to the normal 12 year old kid you see at the end looks very natural and his chemistry with Ed Oneil is fantastic.

Ed Oneil one of the most underrated actor in America just because of his Al Bundy persona.I Love Ed,I grew up watching Married with...and I have seen most of his other project,including the new yet short lived "Dragnet" TV show.That guy got style and he's ten times more talented than some of the guys you see on the big screen these days,I'm looking forward to his next project.Dutch was in my opinion his best role so far.

Well this film his a classic in my book and it has a great message to it. I'll give it a 9 out of 10.
