Good movie, very similar to prince of egypt.
good movie not as good as Prince of Egypt , but worth having. The only thing i didnt like was the choice is music and occasional singing by the characters. Joseph looked exactly like Moses in the Prince of egypt

A Funny Movie About A "Funny" [Awkward] Kid
This movie gets a rare "5" stars [4.5 if an option] from me! I found it quite funny and entertaining. Plus, the use of so many tweens in a movie had to be difficult to film, yet it was pulled off very well. Someone chose to ignore the "never work with kids or animals" advice and hit a homerun! I'm surprised that this movie is not well known or frequently/repeatedly shown on DISH, etc. like a select number of kids' movies are. It is a hidden gem and I think most kids would like to watch it many times.<br /><br />The main character, Lloyd, comes across as a "freak" or weirdo -- the type of kid likely to be made fun of by his peers -- but he is just "different" and wants to be liked (just like everyone else). Until nearly the end, he actually fails to see that a particular girl, Carla (? who "likes ketchup"), likes him very much. The so-called adults in the movie -- Lloyd's mother, the "magic store" owner, and teachers -- were also funny, though in real life some of the things they said and did to Lloyd and other students would be a disgrace. However, it's only a movie!<br /><br />Some commenters criticize the movie for having nine-, ten-, and eleven-year-olds seemingly obsessed with having boyfriends or girlfriends and think the sexual references and use of mild "bad words" are inappropriate. I think it is mostly good, relatively clean fun -- and nothing that numerous other kids' movies don't include, along with much worse language. The sexual innuendos (e.g., rhino belt buckle) are for the older or adult audiences and should "go over the heads" of young viewers.<br /><br />I thought some of the "gross" acts were hard to stomach (e.g., if there was a scab in bologna sandwich, pulling debris out of belly buttons, blowing nose into friend's shirt), but they were also the kind of things kids find funny.<br /><br />What I liked LEAST about the movie was the classic use of having someone wear thick eyeglasses to make him/her "ugly". A bad haircut -- or one that does not look nice with the shape of one's face -- is the second factor used to make the main character, Lloyd, look awkward (or what is being portrayed as "ugly"). A decent mother, instead of telling Lloyd that he is not ugly and that he is a good-looking boy, should have known that he had a stupid-looking haircut and done something about it to make Lloyd look better! Better yet, the movie could have left out the "ugly" part.<br /><br />Finally, I didn't like that kids could be fighting outside during recess and all the other kids gathered around encouraging the fighters and making comments like "kill him"... or that there apparently was no adult supervision during recess and that no adult even showed up to stop the fighting.<br /><br />Overall, I think "Lloyd" is among the funniest movies I have seen. I liked it more than enough to buy the DVD for my collection and have watched it numerous times (but not as many as "Dumb and Dumber")!

Lacked that emotional hold on the viewer!
I do see quite a bit of foreign film, and I view this one with intensity, trying to find that connection to the storyline that &#34;grabs&#34; me, makes me hold on for more. But this one did not do it.<br /><br />The film of a Saudi young girl who steps across the boundaries of her culture when she wants to compete with a boy who rides his bike. In their culture, girls don't ride bikes. Wadjda seems the rebellious youngster, and we get that quickly in the story. We also get some references to the culture, especially how women are viewed. Some images you need to pick up on your own, others, I felt were not defined for the viewing audience that is foreign to Saudia Arabia. Wadjda lives with her parents, but apparently the marriage of mother and father is in slight turmoil.<br /><br />But, she wants a bike and is willing to go after it. Ok, so she tries to sell her little craft, and then enters a Koran contest at school. She remains determined against any odds she encounters.<br /><br />Ok..... when I refer to a movies that does not &#34;grab&#34; one, I mean that throughout a film, one should be engrossed, feel for the child, like or dislike the child, and feel an emotional hold on the storyline. .... None of this, it was slow, and quite not interesting. I was quite taken by the images of the country.<br /><br />But, could I watch it again?? No. Rizzo

I absolutely hate subtitles, but I really loved this movie
This movie really touched me.<br /><br />CONTAINS SPOILERS….<br /><br />The ten year old little girl, Wadjda, is adorable. She wants a bike so badly, and she wants to race the little boy down the street. Everyone told her that a bike is not a toy for girls and that no girls ever ride bikes. She did everything that she could think of to save up the money to buy a bike that she saw in the store that she really wants. There is a competition at school, where there is prize money for the winner, and if she won, the money could cover the cost of the bike. So, she studies at her best, and she wins the competition and the money. The teacher asks her what she plans to do with the money, and she makes the mistake of saying that she wants to buy a bike. The teacher denies her the money and instead donates it to Palestine. She is heartbroken. And then, at the end, her mother buys the bike for her and tells her that she means everything to her and she just wants her to be happy. She races the little boy and wins and is happy.<br /><br />Of course, I didn't like all of the negative attitudes toward women, such as one of the ten year old little girls got married already.<br /><br />I hate subtitles, but except for that, I really loved this movie.<br /><br />I loved the ending.<br /><br />If you also enjoyed this movie, you will probably also enjoy &#34;Not Without My Daughter&#34; with Sally Field, which does not have subtitles, and which is also based on a true story.

Complex and illuminating
The film industry in Saudi Arabia is almost nonexistent. There are no public movie theaters, and people watch films in their own homes. This film is groundbreaking not only in being the first Saudi Arabian film by a female director, but the first Saudi Arabian film shot in Saudi Arabia. Reportedly, the director had to work from inside a van, to avoid contact with the male actors and crew.<br /><br />Although at its base a simple and heartwarming story of a girl who wants a bicycle, the real story is the presentation of the film's milieu to audiences outside the Kingdom who are unaware of the features of this strict, almost perverse society. This presentation is skillfully done. I can't imagine a fervently religious Saudi finding anything in it to object to (and obviously, they didn't, otherwise the film would not exist at all), but at the same time, an outsider will find the society as depicted to be inhumanly restrictive and shocking in its treatment of women.

The film industry in Saudi Arabia is almost nonexistent. There are no public movie theaters, and people watch films in their own homes. This film is groundbreaking not only in being the first Saudi Arabian film by a female director, but the first Saudi Arabian film shot in Saudi Arabia. Reportedly, the director had to work from inside a van, to avoid contact with the male actors and crew.br br Although at its base a simple and heartwarming story of a girl who wants a bicycle, the real story is the presentation of the film's milieu to audiences outside the Kingdom who are unaware of the features of this strict, almost perverse society. This presentation is skillfully done. I can't imagine a fervently religious Saudi finding anything in it to object to and obviously, they didn't, otherwise the film would not exist at all, but at the same time, an outsider will find the society as depicted to be inhumanly restrictive and shocking in its treatment of women.

Educational without sacrificing entertainment
We loved this. We are a homeschooling family. I have looked high and low for films with good stories, that realistically depict modern life in countries other than the US, and that are appropriate for my 12-year-old daughters. This one was a great fit. The main character is compelling, the acting is good, the filming really brings the location to life, and the story is revealing of culture - or at least as the filmmaker sees it.

A Cinematic Achievement
Thought this was a good movie, but it wasn't what I expected. The females' conscripted lives gave me a physical sense of claustrophobia, and I wasn't left with the hopeful ending I had anticipated - more a grim sense of the impending proscription and heartbreak that adulthood would bring this plucky protagonist. Definitely worth watching - a cinematic achievement, for sure - and kudos to the director for all the firsts achieved with this work.

Wadjda, The Girl with the Bike
Wadjda is the central character of this movie. While much can be made of the plight of Saudi women, I love this movie for the character Wadjda's spirit and hope. Haifaa al-Mansour, the Saudi female writer and director of this movie, had to have that intention in giving us this movie. Waad Mohammed is the young actress that played the lead role, and she carried it perfectly. A great movie -- one of my favorites!

Beautiful film
Very realistic view of Saudi life. Watch it and be entertained by Wadjda, feel her mother's pain imposed by double standards of society.... watch as Wadjda and her mothers characters develop as the story goes on and gain hope for the future... and possibly get insight into a culture that is very different from Western culture. It shows how humans at the core are the same everywhere, but are affected by their surroundings (IMO).

charming and thought provoking film.
Sensitively written, convincing ensemble cast bring to life Wadjda. We are invited to slip behind the walls and see into the life of an exceptionally girl who discovers that to take on her dream of bike riding and racing her best friend Abdullah, she has taken on a bigger world and still decides to take on the challenge. In the process we too remember the joys, sorrows and work to coming of age-and cheer for Wadjda.

Really good movie
Delightful story of the determination of a young Saudi girl in a society that is oppressive for women. Though the realities for women are difficult for us to imagine in the US, the film does a good job of relaying those facts without bringing the viewer totally down. This film was on my watch list for too long and thus, I had to &#34;buy it&#34; instead of renting it (Bummer--don't know why Amazon can't keep renting the movies...) but my 22 YO son wanted to see it also so I sprang for the purchase. He enjoyed it equally.

Wadjda reminds me of a great old Disney classic. It doesn't really matter that the story is about something comparatively trivial, the characters are endearing and the story draws you in from the very beginning. Also reminiscent of the movie Once.

Very real-world for Saudi Arabia
As someone living in Saudi Arabia, the scenery and setting were spot on. The story, from what I have learned, is also spot on, except I am not sure that the story would have ended the way it did. There are still so many issues for women in Saudi, and they are still shamed for certain things while more serious actions are hidden and swept under the rug. But men are really allowed to marry more than one woman. A touching story and wonderful portrayal!

Funny and touching all at the same time. The story was original and kept me entertained while giving me a glimpse into parts of Saudi Arabian culture. I'd recommend this film to anyone.

Excellent acting.
A clear view into the inside world and daily life of women in Saudia Arabia, the small world, bravery and triumph of a special girl with a special bond with her mother, living right-less life in the 21st century. A must see. Excellent acting.

What an idiot woman. Even for a horro movie character, this woman is a jerk and a fool.
There are some things to like about this movie. I'm not even going in to them, though, becasue they don't matter. They don't matter because the main character is SO ANNOYING it is impossible to focus on anything else.<br />Horror movie main characters often have to make stupid decisions in the moment, in order to make the story work, but this main character is so Gawd awful stupid and snotty that I had to stop watching. This woman is just an outrage.<br />Her boss offers her a lighter workload so that she can work normal hours. This is so her kids don't have to be home alone so much. Nope, she won't have it. Her kids are home alone for hours, apparently, with no one there to look after them, no family member, no baby sitter, no nothing, just little kids home alone for hours. She's fine with that, but then when she has to go to the scene of a horrible murder in the middle of the night, for some reason THEN she has to wake them up, put them in the car, and leave them (alone, again) to hang out in the car while she's off at the scene of the crime for an extended period of time. Why? Why not leave them safely asleep in their beds, if you're fine with leaving them awake and running around for hours home alone without you? Why???????<br />All her behavior is like this. When the curandero comes to the house to help, and saves them all, she's outraged because...because...who flipping knows??? They guy just saved the entire family from a demon but she's hostile and outraged because, um.....there were some bad moments before he managed to kick the demon out? After she's been making fun of him and all his proceedures for hours prior to that on top it, even though she's the one that asked him for help! She's just horrible. I stopped watching at this point, so whatever profoundly stupid thing she did next, I'm unaware of it, which is a blessing.

Okay for horror fans...
Saw this in the theater and for anyone that's a fan of the Conjuring series it's worth a watch. As of June 2019 it has grossed $121+ million worldwide with a budget of $9 million. Not too shabby. The acting is decent, the setting and atmosphere is appropriate and adds to the overall story. Nothing ground breaking yet just a solid story to fill your horror needs.<br />My favorite character was that of Raymond Cruz who played the distant, yet humorous priest and who is hesitantly drawn in to the story. He brings levity to an otherwise good film.<br />Worth checking out for fans of the genre'.

a perfectly average, by-the-numbers, inexpensive jump-horror movie
It's a perfectly average horror movie. Stock characters fit obvious plot needs, and the plot is about as complicated as the directions on the back of a shampoo bottle. You know who's going to fulfill whatever plot requirement along the way, and you've seen this movie a thousand times. It's just that this time it's called "The Curse of La Llarona". All that said, it pretty solidly done. It's shot well. The actors are do well. (Special shout-out to Marisol Ramirez, the most interesting character in the movie. She plays the monster, La Llarona. Srsly, she owns the movie and the last third of the film. Shout-out also to Patricia Velasquez who plays the tormented lady, not the leading lady, in the movie. Her character is written campy as can be, but she makes it work better than it should.) -- The movie starts out kinda slow, and then about halfway it perks up. The last quarter of the movie moves along on a healthy clip. The movie has a shorter runtime, and truth be told, they could've chopped another ten minutes of attempted spookiness and suspense and had a much, much better movie... well, broadcast tv movie perfectly timed to include commercial breaks. -- I don't recommend The Curse of La Llarona, but it's not a bad movie. There are plenty worse movies you could watch, though.

Not Scary and Not Exciting.
I was very disappointed with this movie. It was slow, it didn't explain how it was that children are "selected" by La Llorona, and I felt no connection with any of the characters. This movie could have been great but instead I played Solitaire on my phone while the movie was playing. Luckily I only rented this movie and did not go to the theatre or buy it. Extremely disappointing and I wouldn't waste my time on viewing it a second time. SAVE your money!!

I was very disappointed with this movie. It was slow, it didn't explain how it was that children are selected by La Llorona, and I felt no connection with any of the characters. This movie could have been great but instead I played Solitaire on my phone while the movie was playing. Luckily I only rented this movie and did not go to the theatre or buy it. Extremely disappointing and I wouldn't waste my time on viewing it a second time. SAVE your money!!

Not Scary and Not Exciting.

Better than I expected
Good storyline. Saw no grand connection as some seemed to have with another series of horror flicks. Good movie and actually better than I expected. Especially when you consider the number of cheap, lame scary movies out there that far outnumber the good ones.

Watering down the Conjuring Universe with ill-executed the Mexican folklore of the Weeping Woman...
The actors all did fine, the writing was fine, but everything on-screen involving La Llorona felt more watered down than the lack of effective use of the weeping woman’s tears.<br /><br />We are introduced to Anna and her children with a positive yet haphazard energy scrambling to get ready for school and work (Los Angeles, 1973). A social worker, misunderstood widow and single mother Anna (Linda Cardellini; Bloodline, Scooby-Doo 1-2, Strangeland) truly cares about the children and families in her caseload. During a home visit regarding a truancy violation, Anna finds that a superstitious Mexican mother has padlocked her terrified boys into a closet with a glyph-inscribed door.<br /><br />Of Mexican folklore warning children to listen to their elders, La Llorona (Marisol Ramirez) was the weeping woman who might steal them away to replace her own lost children. Director Michael Chaves (The Conjuring 3) might have fumbled his opening scene (Mexico, 1673) introducing us to La Llorona, but at least he fares very well in doing justice to his heroine. The jump scares, however, are largely just okay, often predictable, and not very “jumpy.” Overall, the “horror” of this horror film feels rather weak, over-telegraphed and uninspired. Were some of the scares a bit fun? Sure. But most disappointed more than entertained.<br /><br />It was as if the evil spirit herself forgot her own motivation when she’d push a child down the stairs rather than grab him to steal him away, or just stand there menacingly instead of advancing upon her unwitting victim, or grab a child’s wrist to burn them and then disappear. Chaves’ greatest “scare success” (and only marginally so if I’m being honest) was in the tension of the bathtub scene with Anna’s daughter. But Mirrors (2008), Slither (2006), What Lies Beneath (2000), Final Destination (2000), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Shivers (1974) have made bath tubs forever unnerving in the genre. Other minor successes were the clear connection to Annabelle (2014) and the “egg shaman” scene. Both should have landed far better than they did—but still, they were appreciated.<br /><br />Seeking help, Anna turns to Father Perez (Tony Amendola; Annabelle) and Shaman Rafael (Raymond Cruz; Dusk till Dawn 2, Alien: Resurrection, Gremlins 2). In the absence of Elise (Insidious) or the Warrens (The Conjuring), Rafael is our second-rate exorcist. Classic staples such as candles and crucifixes are present, along with rubbing eggs on thresholds and some tongue-in-cheek humor.<br /><br />Not since Case 39 (2009) has a social worker ended up with such a bad case, and not since Annabelle (2014) or The Nun (2018) have I been so disappointed by a franchise installment in the Conjuring Waniverse. I feel like all the story-writing and characters and acting were good, but everything Llorona-related (on-screen) seemed to fail in execution. The weeping woman’s crying and her very tears even felt forced into scenes, whereas they should have been the deepest and creepiest nuance at the filmmakers’ disposal (if handled properly) for cultivation of dread. Honestly, all this really worries me about The Conjuring 3 (same director). Still, not a bad Friday night popcorn flick for the sake of being entertained and then forgetting all about the movie.

Actually, not that bad.
Was pleasantly surprised by this movie. After how bad The Nun was my expectations were very low, but this movie was much better. Even had a few somewhat scary and unnerving moments throughout the movie.
