SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

bkoganbing I wasn't quite sure what to make of this film. My guess is that it is aimed at children to get them interested in the fascinating world of stamp collecting. My brother had a sizable collection when he was a kid, personally it wasn't something I got interested in.First of all the title character Tommy Tricker is aptly named, he's a mischievous kid who cons this other kid Ralph out of some of his father's valuable stamps. But one he didn't con was an enchanted stamp which with a magic chant and placing it on a letter will get you shrunk right on the stamp and you will emerge when the letter is delivered.Ralph gets himself shrunk and put on a letter to a stamp collector in Australia, but Tommy waylays the letter and sends him to China. Ralph eventually gets to Australia, but so does Tommy. Both have a lot of adventures with kids from Canada, China, and Australia and some run-ins with a few grownups as well.Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller was a well intentioned Canadian production. Somehow though I didn't feel the magic coming from this film which you would have to in order to enjoy it. Too many concepts I just couldn't get my mind to believe.Perhaps if I was 8 years old again, maybe.

supercool_man well this has to be one of my favourite movies, its such a fun and enjoyable movie for all. I really love Tommys persona. The movie is about a 3 friends Ralph, Tommy, and the lovable Nancy (who Tommy falls for in the return of Tommy Tricker). Its starts of with Tommy stealing Ralphs grandparents stamps, then the gang realise that the old tale of the stamp is true and Tommy and Ralph travel the world for certain stamps. This movie is great for younger children, but the whole family could easily enjoy it. If you like kiddy adventures this movie probably is with the Goonies and the sandlotkids. This movie is one of my favourites.

lanijean Tommy Tricker & The Stamp Traveler is hands down one of the most delicious movies I have ever seen. Ralph and Nance are an amazing brother and sister pair, taking on the dirty, underbelly of the underground (doubly crass and dangerous!), Canadian Stamp World -- chasing after Blue Noses and Penny Victorias like madmen in Keds. The IMDb description isn't quite accurate, in that Tommy Tricker is most definitely not Ralph's "best friend" at the beginning of the story, but by the finale, you could correctly call them modern day Bosom Buddies. Albert's voice is amazing, especially when he is making reference to Tommy's dad being a bum. His "real dad"! This movie effectively gets kids riled up to collect stamps. We learn that stamps = the coolest adventure of one's life, should one decide to take on the call of duty. Don't lose Dad's Man on the Mast though, or he'll totally tear down your club house and have you falling down Tommy's ghetto stairs just to try and get it back!

izzy-19 In the past I have warned others to avoid this hilariously bad movie. Now, with the popularity of this Rufus Wainright guy growing, I feel I must once again spread the word. Do not see this film. Don't go looking for it. If it is on TV, read a book. I'm telling you, the acting, the plot, the pacing, the very look and feel of the film are straight-up BAD. I had to air it over and over again at a television station, inflicting this travesty on the unsuspecting viewing public. Even cheap-o fare like "The Retrievers" and "Castlerock" were better than this, and they were not good.One other warning. Don't go looking for it thinking "If it's this bad, I GOTTA see it." Trust me, it isn't even good as a joke. You will be angry you wasted your time and money. If you see it at the store, leave it be. Don't touch it. Don't even look at it. Just keep walkin'.
