rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joshuaak - Ok, I will admit now that this movie is ridiculous, but that is all part of its charm. There really are not any award-winning performances here. And the special effects are kind of lame. So why am I giving this movie a good rating??? Because I love it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joshuaak - Lincoln Logs are the greatest. They are so simple that it is genius. They are pieces of wood made to look like miniature logs. They have notches and groves in them so you can stack them and build a small log cabin.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joshuaak - When, almost seven years ago, I begged and pleaded with my parents to buy me the backpack I wanted, they told me no. $50 was a lot to spend on a backpack for them.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author joshuaak - Down!! Set!! HIKE!!! This was a very long movie, if you cannot sit still for 2 and a half hours, wait until it comes out on tape and watch it in installments. It is a good movie, however.
