ajkoolaid1984 Funny movie, when drunk... The acting was awful and so was the screen play. The only good part in the whole 84 minute movie was the 10 seconds of the Karate guy jumping over a random motorcycle. The movie was distasteful and was a complete disaster. I would never let my child watch this movie. This movie was a bomb. For a movie called "Flyin' Ryan" he doesn't do a whole lot of flying. There was ass grabbing..... enough said... and a creepy hermit dog.. There where so many scenes in this movie that had nothing to do with anything that the movie was supposedly about. Ducks biting each other? THe same shot of the same deer every twenty minutes? No wonder none of the actors have been in any other movies.. except for the motorcyclist.. and hes a stunt guy. Sad and depressing as it was.. it did make me laugh quite a bit. But other than that.. god this movie was pretty sad. It wasn't something that humanity should be exposed to.

greenescreen This movie is a pure treasure. I'd highly recommend renting, or buying, and watching intoxicated. This is a true treat from the filmmakers out there. Wow. And wait til you see Ryan Fly. You may have seen your sparkler do it on the Fourth of July...but this truly will not disappoint. Every actor gives their best performance and really make the characters real. It really is a marvelous sight to see that Andy Weiss fly though. Note: there is one scene of sexual innuendo Nintendo. You'll have to watch and find it. Can't wait til the sequel comes out..."Ryan Trying' Flyin' Again!" Until then...see this film. It's Brilliant!

eatmorefiber Flyin' Ryan is one of those movies that you occasionally see and you just can't tell if the movie is trying to be serious or if it's just one big joke. From the opening scene to the ending credits, I was laughing so hard because this movie is just AWFUL! The actors in this movie are inexperienced and it shows. No wonder! According to the biographies in the "special features", the most acting they've done is community theater.I was trying to pin-point the bad things in the movie, and there are just too many. There's not much left to be said that hasn't been said here already.The story is about a mom and a 12-year-old boy, Ryan, who move to the country with their loony aunt who's hobbies are weed whacking in the middle of the night and dumpster diving.Ryan goes into town to make some friends, but Dirk and his gang of skateboarding meanies decide they don't like Ryan's face and push him into a lake that's obviously shallow yet somehow, Ryan can't stand up until his future friend, Nicki, falls in the water as well.They become fast friends but what's not to like about a girl that knows all the capitals of every country who has twin siblings (not identical, silly!) that know baseball stats? When I first started watching this movie, I assumed Ryan would be flyin' throughout the entire movie. Silly me! The title implies that Ryan flies, and he does, but it's hardly the main point (if there IS a point) of the movie. He flies about four times -- once over a huge ravine whilst escaping the vile Dirk, once to show Nicki is AWESOME!new skillz, once across the lake to save his raccoon-slash-dog Theo from a seemingly abandoned gold mine/nuclear power plant, and once more across the lake after a successful rescue mission. I'm not sure how it could be unsuccessful when he has technological advances such as ropes that he whips out while escaping Dirk and his overtly stupid cousin.There are a bunch of random nature scenes as well. There's a nice shot of a deer and several scenes featuring extremely fascinating ducks. They're entirely too incongruous. Do they tie into the movie? No! And neither do scenes like the one where they visit Nicki's cousin and go swimming in her pool so Nicki can teach Ryan how to swim (this new found skill never comes in handy again, so what's the point of even teaching him if he's not going to out-swim his foes?) and her cousin can fix his Heelys (they never mention him getting them back, so I assumed he never did, until he whipped them out later ...). There's also the karate master that jumps over a motorcycle. He's pretty awesome because not only can he teach karate lessons in the middle of the road, he can also catch stray tennis balls! Will he ever cease to amaze? There's the intense scene in the hospital when Ryan attempts to deliver Theo to his aunt in the hospital. A police man starts chasing Ryan but gives up. He is soon followed by nurses/doctors who yell "NO DOGS! NO DOGS!" but luckily Ryan has a nurse for a mother and she somehow convinces the doctor to let the dog stay in the hospital. ("NO DOGS!" "What dog?" "OOOH... ALRIGHT! -sly grin-" I seriously could go on and on about how awful this movie is. I tried telling my friend about this movie and I just couldn't run out of strange scenarios that came from this movie.This movie was a complete waste of time and money. It provided me with a few laughs, but only because I simply could not believe that I found this movie, let alone it was actually MADE.

ellebulla Some say that you never know if the movie you think is the worst movie ever truly is the worst. This one is, hands down. I was almost embarrassed to be watching it.However, it is well worth watching-the movie is absolutely hilarious, even though it wasn't meant to be. If you need to watch something stupid, and get a kick out of it, Flyin' Ryan is just for you.If you do see it, make sure you get the DVD-the extras are great. Oh, and make sure you watch the end credits...it is just like a home video and so funny. I think I could have made this movie with my friends in 3 days-there are no special effects, random scenes of nature. It is great.
