• Very impressed!

  My younger cousin is absolutely obsessed with Adam Brody so we watched the movie together and I have to say that I was indeed impressed with his performance. Having seen the OC a few times, I got a glimpse of it but I really was knocked over with this movie. This movie is definitely worth it and it's not just another "sappy" film. Excellently executed. Two thumbs up! Definitely see this movie! Pleasant film and it's even enjoyable for the whole family and we all know we haven't had one of those movies in a while! ;)

  the story was real good and the acting made it very interesting for Adam Brody's first big role he was awesome as was the young Vietnamese girl.I don"t know if it was a true story or not but i found it very entertaining as I always wondered how they did these sort of searches.i watched it with my teenage son who also liked it.especially the snake scene with Adam Brody.i think it also gave him an idea of what was going on with all the Vietnam issues of the 1960s/70s.i have an older brother who is a Vietnam vet and i have recommended to him and his family.i like that it was both serious and funny as it was a very emotional movie especially with the music.

  I'd heard about this movie because a friend of mine let me know that Adam Brody was in it. She's really into The OC and wanted me to watch it with her. I was curious to see what Adam could do outside of the TV show and was completely pleasantly surprised. Adam Brody's acting was excellent. The movie can appeal to both the young and old alike given the diverse cast. I was immediately drawn to it more because of hearing that Illeana Douglass was in it. I'm a fan of her! The film can also be especially appealing at this time since it deals with losing someone in the war. It was such a touching movie, it made me cry and I totally recommend it to anyone!

• Must see!

  EXCELLENT Flick! Adam Brody is amazing! A must see movie! I wasn't sure what to expect, but being a fan his show I wanted to see Adam in this role and I was happy that I did! I give it an "A" and would recommend it to everyone. I can tell you that this is one of the better movies of it's kind that I have see in a very long time. The story line is so well done and I was captivated by it. I like a good dramatic story and I was hoping to be taken back into someone else's world and this movie did just that. It was also great to see Brody give such a different performance. I was more than impressed. Enjoyed it a lot!

• GREAT MOVIE!

  Missing Brendan is an awesome movie. Anyone would love it because it's so interesting, and teenage girls out there: Adam Brody! Need I say more? Anyway, the setting is gorgeous and the acting is phenomenal, I highly recommend it! Go out and buy the DVD, you'll love it, I promise. Even though the movie deals with more serious issues, it's still very funny and you laugh a lot. It's a great combination of drama and a bit of comedy. Most ages can watch it, I'd say 13 and older is fine. I just really want to convince people to get this movie, because it's so interesting ans the storyline is so unique. It's also great for Adam Brody fans to see the acting change from this to the O.C. Two thumbs up!
