Title: Corny Fun
Review: I teach the unabridged version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to my middle school students and I wanted them to compare the book to a movie. This film is closer to the book than many other versions, so it's a useful resource. At first, the kids were groaning because the movie is so old fashioned and corny, but by the end, they were cheering. The movie led to a good discussion about why certain scenes were not included in the film version, and it also led to conversations about use of stereotypes in media. I wish someone would make a new Tom Sawyer movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
