Movie Reviews80's Movies Fan Baldwin | KUWAIT,Sabahiya | 12/16/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "TEX was a great Movie,I own THE DVD..A must See IF You're Matt Dillon's Fan :) " "Smokey, the cow horse" is his favorite book R. Bagula | Lakeside, Ca United States | 03/07/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "This film is really kind of dumb. It shows a red neck kid in Oklahoma growing up. He seems to have more courage than sense. His is a very disfunctional life and he doesn't seem to have anything but one emotional problem after the other. I pretty much disliked the film, but for Disney it must have been an adventure in semi-realism?" Well made and sincere coming of age movie F. J. Harvey | Birmingham England | 07/27/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Tex is a 15 year old Oklahoma farm boy with more than his fair share of problems .He is being raised by his elder brother in the absence of parents -his mother is dead and his father simply walks away from domestic responsibility .the movie is about how this personable and engaging -but not over bright -teenager strives to make sense of his world .It examines the pains and perils of growing up and Tex 's family life is not a bed of roses .The movie treats of themes untypical of Disney productions --booze, sex, fighting ,class distinction and economic problems ,school problems and the sudden need to grow up and assume responsibility more quickly than most .
This is both the appeal and the problem of the movie-it is an adult look at children's lives and treats the issues seriously ,but tries to cram too much into a brief running time .Consequently the picture feels slightly overcooked and issue heavy . Still it is splendidly acted especially by Matt Dillon as Tex and by Meg tilly as his girl friend This is awarm hearted but not a sappy movie and its honesty ,sincerity and skill commend it to me ,but a little less plot would have made it better" |
