Alicia I love this movie so much

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Candy Shop" is an American half-hour live action film from 6 years ago that is mostly about the problem of child traficking in the Atlanta area. This is pretty worrying topic as it shows that even in big rich countries there are still problems like these. The director is Brandon McCormick and the writer is Charlie Wetzel. Cast also includes a couple known names, especially Doug Jones. Unfortunately, the script loses itself completely at times in the candy shop metaphor and the connection towards the subject feels lost. The written information at the end of the film cannot make up for this lack of focus. I agree that it is an important subject, but the way it was executed here it does not raise half the awareness that it should, which is probably also why his little movie is not too well-known. The acting, which is good, sure is not the reason. It must be the weak script. I do not recommend "The Candy Shop".

Bmorr15039 Excellent video. Brings to the forefront the horrible problem we have in America of sex trafficking. Thanks to Whitestone for doing this. The music was great. the acting was superb. The story was hard to watch but told a story without being sexually explicit which made it tolerable for all viewers. We need wide distribution of this film for action from all parts of the country. I saw the inaugural viewing of this film in Atlanta with 4000 other people and it was a crowd pleaser as far as the professionalism it took to produce this film. I hope everyone in America has a chance to see it as soon as possible so they can initiate programs in their neighborhoods to stop this sorry crime that some sick people commit.

Jonathan Pate Alone the trailer for The Candy Shop left me sitting with my mouth open and shivers down my spine. A very touchy subject and a very brave and aware director with the name of Brandon McCormick just bursting to expose to a wide audience what is going on in HIS doorstep - I hoped it would pay off.Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, Legion) takes the role of the Candy Shop owner and makes the character so deliciously believably evil. Something is telling you STOP! But you just can't not enter the shop with him.Only when the inquisitive Jimmy, played by Mattie Liptak, who watches the day to day goings on from his vantage point across the street gets involved does help seem to be at hand. Adults don't have time to get involved - it's not their business anyway.A dark ending, yes, but so true to life.This film needs the highest exposure, a masterpiece

alohse What a BRILLIANT way to make a PSA. Such a creative approach to show awareness of this horrible and haunting reality in the Atlanta Community.I loved the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Theme...It really drew me in instantly!! This story touched me and brought me to tears. I have known about this horrible victimizing problem in our Atlanta community for some time now and I am so pleased to see such a talented and bright production team bring light and attention to this horror. I don't think anyone could of done it in a more captivating way. I loved the picture, script, talented actors,,,etc etc!!! Great job guys, GREAT JOB!
