Version of Tom Sawyer (1917)

Corny And Overrated,But Still Had It's Upsides

While I will say I liked the book way better than I did this film,Tom And Huck was actually sort of interesting.I found the comedy unfunny and tasteless,but yet the story line was entertaining.They left out plenty of stuff from the book that I wished they would've shown in the movie,which was disappointing,and also the acting was just a little bit bad.This film was really overrated also.There were already plenty of Tom Sawyer movies already made,and this one was totally unnecessary.I found nothing to absolutely brag about on this film at all.It wasn't hardly THAT good,but still I took some liking to it.If you're a fan of the book,find another version of Tom Sawyer to watch.If you're a fan of the movie,read the book,you'll like it a lot better.For me it was just okay,nothing more.
