8/10
A short story in a wide well context
10 October 2006
"War of the buttons" is a story about a fighting of two gangs composed by kids. One gang is from Ballydowse and the other one is from Carrickdowse. Both gangs are headed by Fergus and Geronimo respectively.

The "war" consists of cutting off their opponent's buttons as a trophy or a signal of victory during a battle.

In "War of the buttons", the children shows us up an important organization as a common society even its background is still a kid's adventure from small towns.

There's no need to find out a meaning in the battles or the scenes they play, well... it's not adventure acting neither... but I guess there is a simple suggestion about the roles of each person in a group of people summoned by the same purpose.

The magic of childish minds into colorful places of Ireland makes a nice environment in the movie, despite of the fighting between them.

However is an entertaining story about love, family, forgiveness, courage, betrayals, friendship and support; held by a cute frame of kid's brightness.

I really recommend you guys to check it out if you haven't seen it.
