Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

I could only watch this up to about the 50 min mark before I started skipping ahead. This isn't a horror movie. I repeat: this is not a horror movie. It could be best described as a "dramatic thriller". The acting and characterizations are bad. The plot holes are huge. This movie is excruciatingly slow. If you're a fan of gore, look elsewhere cuz there's none here. If you're a fan of suspense, look elsewhere, there is none here. The suspense is lacking because no one in the movie is ever in any danger. I bought this from my local Mart for $5 with 7 other flicks and I can't decide if I hate this or Loaded of the eight films.

I had seen "Dirt Boy" while at the Seattle Film Festival and again at a theatre showing in Massachusetts. I recently noticed it in my local video store and brought it home to watch once again.After watching the movie at home I realized the move was like reading a well written mystery novel. The movie draws you to concentrate on the narration, not just the visual to solve the mystery. The setting on Cape Cod in the winter was a great location for this story and the actors came across as real "Cape Codders".I feel the filmmaker did an excellent job with his first time project and I hope to see more from him in the future.People always say; "If you like the book you'll love the movie" with Dirt Boy it's all rolled into one.

As the niece of the Producer, John Smalley, I should say this movie is wonderful due to the fact he is my Uncle. Well, whether he is or not, this movie is still great. I know he was very dedicated to the making of this film and it shows in every way. John Smalley did an excellent job for his first independent film and I hope he continues to make great movies such as Dirt Boy. If anyone gets the opportunity to watch this film, please do so! Thanks.

this is an excellent movie, both in plot and in the acting. If you are into films that have a well thought out plot(rather than all the other fluff that is out there)then this is a film for you to watch. Jacob Lee Hedman is Fabulous as Matty Matthews......I look forward to seeing more from him and the rest of the crew of dirt boy.
