I'd heard about this movie because a friend of mine let me know that Adam Brody was in it. She's really into The OC and wanted me to watch it with her. I was curious to see what Adam could do outside of the TV show and was completely pleasantly surprised. Adam Brody's acting was excellent.
The movie can appeal to both the young and old alike given the diverse cast. I was immediately drawn to it more because of hearing that Illeana Douglass was in it. I'm a fan of her!
The film can also be especially appealing at this time since it deals with losing someone in the war. It was such a touching movie, it made me cry and I totally recommend it to anyone!

EXCELLENT Flick! Adam Brody is amazing! A must see movie! I wasn't sure what to expect, but being a fan his show I wanted to see Adam in this role and I was happy that I did! I give it an "A" and would recommend it to everyone.
I can tell you that this is one of the better movies of it's kind that I have see in a very long time. The story line is so well done and I was captivated by it. I like a good dramatic story and I was hoping to be taken back into someone else's world and this movie did just that.
It was also great to see Brody give such a different performance. I was more than impressed. Enjoyed it a lot!

"Missing Brendan" is one of the most intriguing films dealing with past and current issues regarding the controversial Vietnamese war. It was pure genius the way that many of the unresolved issues regarding the war arose throughout the entire film. This film has an all star cast in which each actor/actress depicts their character perfectly. The setting of the film really makes the viewer feel as if they are actually in Vietnam with the characters. My favorite part of this film would have to be the resolution. The producers and directors of this film did an outstanding job in depicting the fact that although tensions between America and Vietnam have been at relatively high levels in the past, we as human beings are able to put that aside in order to help each other. If you have not done so, I highly suggest going out and purchasing the DVD, and especially watching the added features. Enjoy!!!!
My younger cousin is absolutely obsessed with Adam Brody so we watched the movie together and I have to say that I was indeed impressed with his performance. Having seen the OC a few times, I got a glimpse of it but I really was knocked over with this movie.
This movie is definitely worth it and it's not just another "sappy" film. Excellently executed.
Two thumbs up!
Definitely see this movie! Pleasant film and it's even enjoyable for the whole family and we all know we haven't had one of those movies in a while! ;)

the story was real good and the acting made it very interesting
for Adam Brody's first big role he was awesome as was the young Vietnamese girl.I don"t know if it was a true story or not but i found it very entertaining as I always wondered how they did these sort of searches.i watched it with my teenage son who also liked it.especially the snake scene with Adam Brody.i think it also gave him an idea of what was going on with all the Vietnam issues of the 1960s/70s.i have an older brother who is a Vietnam vet and i have recommended to him and his family.i like that it was both serious and funny as it was a very emotional movie especially with the music.
