Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Hunky Stud I didn't plan to write a comment, but two years have passed since the last person who wrote one for this movie. So here I am. I got this tape from a local library which was donated by a patron.I have to say Ryan Phillippe looked really cute in this movie. The environment that his character Jimmy lives is really trashy, but he still looked cute with his sparkling innocent eyes. His presence certainly added some extra points for this movie.I didn't read the brief description on the tape box, so I didn't know what this story is all about. To me, the movie has some confusing points at the beginning. Jimmy didn't call that guy as his dad, so I wasn't sure what their relationship was. Did Kate and Ray actually work or own that bar? Was Jimmy forced to have sex with Kate all the time? How did he become the father of those two boys without remembering? Why were there boxes in Ray's bedroom, etc? Somethings just don't make sense, how can that rich girl and Jimmy go to the same high school since they live so far apart. And why would she pay attention to him since he is so poor. And she actually went to his trashy place, tried to have sex with him? Beyond that, this is a dark and entertaining movie. It has the mystery all the way to the end, it kept me interested. I am sure that there are still people like them who live in the US even today. They have the mundane life.

dilbertsuperman Little boy blue is a blonde haired young man who lives with his trailer trash family out in the middle of nowhere, down south. His mom works at a bar and his dad does the classic haunted dysfunctional Viet Nam vet role. THere are random stabs of violence and the macabre but it's not cohesive and the movie has little impact because it's such an unlikely story that was attempted to be told for no particular reason that I can fathom. I don't think they had any idea on how to shift gears in this movie and as such the shifts are extremely clumsy. The way this story is told is inept and dull and the editing is poor with the pacing of the scenes. This is a pointless plot that can't seem to represent any of its' plot elements believably.One thing I noticed that was funny:When a woman is being questioned by police she is given Texas beer and she asks for Sam Adams instead. In the next camera shot she is drinking Heineken and there is no Texas beer or Sam Adams anywhere in the room. Bizarre.Ryan Phillipe is the main character and he's pretty annoyingly androgynous here, I was kind of hoping his back street boys character would die painfully. He does a much better job in "Five Fingers" and "Igby Goes Down".

Joseph N. Hall Little Boy Blue is for the most part well acted but it grinds to a weird crawl and ultimately ends in illogic and nihilism. There's no irony in red herrings (or catfish), even a whole fish market of them. David Lynch used to make this sort of movie, and he was very good at it. But this movie just doesn't get the job done, and the flatness into which it peters out is ultimately uninvolving.Maybe if you watch the first half and get up for popcorn and never come back to the TV, you can imagine a better finish of your own.

AdaDee A real cinematic gem that unfortunately got little notice. Start with a total evolving original story by the writer, a director not afraid of hurting his chances with a big studio film and portrayals by John Savage & Ryan Phillippe, and this film adds up to one movie one might find hard to forget nor would one want to. "Little Boy Blue" blows the lid off of conventional story ideas and keeps one on the edge of their seats. It's unpredictable, scary, even funny at times but oh-so rewarding. It's kinda like "Blue Velvet", "The Great Santini" and that tv movie "Something About Amelia" from many years ago. I recommend it not only once as a rental but maybe two or three times because each viewing seems to show you a little something extra to put the pieces together in this suspenseful drama. I still can't believe hardly no one's heard of it in this day and age. I recommended it always to friends. Note: It has a couple of young characters but it's not for l
