Editorial Review: Description: This is a story of children from two small towns in Ireland who form small armies and battle against each other in a never-ending quest for supremacy. The film investigates the slightly surreal and powerfully emotional world we inhabit as children. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantastic Movie!!! This is such a great movie. I do not understand why it has never made it to DVD. I blame the hippies!!!!!! Rating:  - A brutish Irish adaptation of a playful French novel. What does this say?Colin Welland may have won an Oscar for his Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition), but in his adaptation of the Louis Pergaud novel set in the early 1900's France and later filmed by Yves Robert in 1962, this move to Ireland lacks the playfulness and innocence of the original and makes these kids from two rival camps way more brutal and warmongering with hateful language.

Along with THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH and WAKING NED DEVINE, I think that THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS is tops among Irish films. The young actors who dominate the film are exceptional and genuine, and the film explores the way in which adolescents begin to move into becoming young adults and some of the harsh realities of life. Why Warner Bros. has not released this ... Read More Rating:  - Unrealistic Fictional French Tale Set in EireThis film could have been a five star story had the script-writers done a better job of adapting this French tale to the realites of children in 1960s County Cork, Eire. It's so far-fetched, that only a young American audience would be gullible enough to swallow its fantastic plot. The script-writers did a poor job of allowing the children to be children with the values of children; instead they imposed adult values on them so that it is a film about children by adults. Rather than do a film for children, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
