This film was really interesting. Somtimes it made me laugh, somtimes it made me cry and somtimes it made me excited. I felt a whole arrey of feelings when I read "I am David! Also the book makes you realise when they did have captivity homes how they felt and about the conditions tha they were living in! Thank you to the auther of "I am David" for the best book i've read for ages.

It's okay, I mean the book is better. But I did enjoy the movie. I love Jim Caviezal and Ben Tibber! The movie does have some super good quotes by Johannes/Jim Caviezal. Overall it's pretty good.
We watched this movie with our kids ages 3-12 and they all enjoyed it. My husband and I enjoyed it as well. Such a great message of hope and can get your family talking about WWII. These genuinely good family movies don't come along everyday.
I watched this with my children ages 7-12, and we all enjoyed it. There is good morality, and it is an exciting movie that kept our attention from the very start! It might be a bit scary for younger children though. I would like to watch it again!
I Am David captures the audiences attention like few movies ever do. Describing an emotional struggle of a boy trying to fit in with a strange and hostile world. It displays a level of maturity vastly unfamiliar in young boys of Davids age. This movie provides the perfect oppertunity to show kids the evils that are in the world, but also that good will always triumph in the end.
just right for boys/kids who want adventure in their stories...
My family loved this movie and watched it twice in the same day. It is so well done.
Now, we never read the book; we recommended the movie to a family that had read the book. They're opinion? Etsy-ketsy. I was really surprised. I thought this movie would appeal to everyone!
It has a "just right" blend of intensity and humor. It was a nice movie to watch with the boys. Joan Plowright, Jim Caviezel (sp?) and Ben Tibber give great performances. I even listened to the director talking about the movie being made I loved this movie so much. Will I spoil it if I say it ends so sweetly?
