The Modern Adventures of Tom Sawyer begins on an interesting premise, placing
Mark Twain's "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in modern suburban America. However,
the film doesn't work really well. The budget of the picture was obviously
low and much of the writing is rather corny.
Tom Sawyer, Aunt Polly, and Becky Thatcher are the only major characters that
remain true to Twain's original story. Huck Finn has been changed to a kid
named Chuck who instead of being a "negative" influence upon Tom, is the one
that Tom influences negatively.
There are other instances of changing the story to make it politically corr-
ect and outside of the famous fence painting episode and a showdown between
Tom and Joe at the end, there really isn't much left of Twain's original
tale.
Erik Estrada of "Chips" fame plays Joe, a phony developer who cons the town,
and David L. Lander, who played Squiggy on "Laverne & Shirley", plays the
Mayor.
I didn't enjoy this film as much as I thought I would. However, overall the
movie is a decent family flick that kids will enjoy, but doesn't contain much
depth or substance.
