1st watch 2/12/2007 negative ( dir sam newfield ) represent complex story and but hammy acting and silly song make this major attempt to bring to the screen a serious story with midget ( or should i say the vertically challenge ) a failure . the story revolve around the bad guy in town name bat haines and who be fool everybody and plot two family against each other by steal each other calf and then set it up so that each one blame the other . he even have the sheriff eat out of his hand and bully everyone else to see thing his way . if you haven not guess yet and he be the terror of tiny town . enter the hero and the young son of the lawson clan and who try to fix thing and stir up a little romeo and juliet style romance on the side with a niece in the other family . well and a you can guess and all thing work out in the end and we get to hear one of the silly song ( there be about 4 song in the movie and all be pretty silly ) to close out the movie . this actually be a grand attempt to make a hollywood picture with only the little one but the mediocre act stand out and sadly .
