Paradise Texas

With Meredith Baxter in the cast, this was always going to be a likeable family film. The dance sequences were good - although it would have been nice to have had a couple more of them. (personal opinion). Generally well-acted. Keeping in mind that this is NOT a 'blockbuster' or some 'hyped-up' production costing mega-millions (nor does it try to be), it should simply be taken it face value... as a rather heart-warmin, feel-good type of move with a message on family life that is not rammed down your throat. I particularly enjoyed the acting of the children in this production - Ben Estus in particular.The copy I received had a few strange sound quirks (echoey clapping?) that gave it a slightly 'boxy' tone quality at times - but these are minor distractions. Perhaps, interestingly, I also felt keen to know more about the movie they were 'supposedly' filming as a part of the story. The plot of the imaginary movie seems to invite being taken further.

I was in the mood for a nice feel good film and since I like some of the actors in this one, I decided to give it a go. It never really gets off the ground unfortunately. The first few minutes were ok but about a half hour or so in I found myself distracting easily and just sitting there waiting for it to be over. It had a nice message, it was just too slow paced. And although there were a few interesting scenes, the film was just blah for me overall.

I really enjoyed this film its a good family film. seeing a man that gets down in his life and to see a child change things all around him, including his friends, family. This film leaves you feeling high in spirit and proud .

I thoroughly enjoyed PARADISE TEXAS. It brought back memories of going to the movies as a child. It is a warm and wonderful family drama and just plain makes you feel good! Though it is a few years old, it's a great one to get. You'll find yourself watching it over and over again! This one's definitely a keeper in my collection!

I had a chance to watch this movie the other evening and really enjoyed it. A terrific family movie containing a lot of life lessons.

This is an amazingly well done film for the budget. It is a great family film with a good message.

nice family viewing. One of Polly Bergen's last movie.

great movie

I had great expectations - advertised as "Billy Elliot Texas style" ... The cast pretty good, but the movie is only on level of better TV production. Good for family viewing doing no surprise, no harm. Recommendation: forget about this and go for Billy Elliot.

Nice story on when experienced actor helps young talent to proove his family what's his ideal, and freshman helps his elder to land back after his long fly in movies Industry.
