Crime never pays, 1 March 2006
Author: dkrob from EASTBOURNE, ENGLAND
A film about the kidnapping of a tiny show pony that goes wrong of course. I bought this for the Shelley Long content alone. It was not a particularly funny film and I did find the family that owned the pony grated on me but it was all good clean cut fun. Shelley Long though a different kettle of fish. Hilarious tottering around on those high heeled shoes looking like she was going to fall over any minute. And that short mini skirt and black stocking and her change of hair every 5 minutes she was hilarious. When she sings my sweet potato pie with her side kick great. The best bit though is when she speaks with the phony Southern Accent you can't help enjoying it.

So Disjointed Your Joints Will Ache From Watching, 2 February 2006
Author: bookmarkm
A real dog of a "dog and pony" show. Jay Thomas and Shelley Long -- funny as they can be -- come off as two sleazy cats trying to fight their way out of a paper bag of a movie. If it appears that most of the primary actors are upset over the kidnapping of their favorite pets, it is more likely they are grimacing in pain and embarrassment from signing on to this film. After release it was re-titled as "Barclay's Big Adventure". Barclay just happens to be the 8-year-old boy in the family of five who is most attached to the family's Shetland pony(Ragtime) and collie(Taylor). When the pets are stolen - get this - an army of thirty FBI agents are called in and confusion reigns. Barclay gets about ten minutes screen time. Three-year-olds will love this film.

So Funny, You Will Laugh Until You Get Sore, I Love It!, 8 May 2005
Author: Willard Hall from Hindman KY
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
The Adventures Of Ragtime Is So Funny, You Will Laugh Until You Get Sore. I Really Love That Movie. I purchased the DVD at the Rite Aid Store, It's from Sterling Home Video. It's a story about a miniature horse getting horse-napped by two crazy funny crooks, Sam & Lester, played by Jay Thomas & Shelley Long. The crooks get knocked down and beating' up by the horse Ragtime and does stuff to the crooks that you will never believe. It is so funny. The little boy Barkley Blue played by Justin Cooper, who is the owner of Ragtime goes on an adventure to with the family dog to rescue Ragtime. Barkley has an older brother Carter Blue and a older Sister Amy Blue who is fun for the movie also with the Mom and Dad. I love the restroom scene when Amy and Barkley is fighting over the bathroom and Barkley is holding his sisters leg. I also love the scene where Barkley and Amy is ask by the mom to wake their brother Carter, Barkley and Amy get some water in and glass and and pour's it out on carter's face and gets him all wet, and Carter gets so mad he run's after his older sister, and his younger brother. This movie has it all, every actor in the movie is funny. It has a lot of comical scene's in the movie. I know that if you see this movie The Adventures Of Ragtime, you will be really sore from laughing at this movie where it is so funny. If you don't watch this movie, you will be missing out on some wonderful and funny stuff and a great movie. Don't let The Adventures Of Ragtime pass you by. It is a wonderful movie for families to enjoy and they should make more movies like this one. I also learn from The Adventures Of Ragtime is that their is no profanity words of any kind in the movie, and that shows me that they can make movies without putting them words in movies. This movie rules. YOU'LL LOVE IT Almost as much as I do. One more thing, the horse and the dog talks in the movie.
