Ultimately this fell flat for me. I was more interested in the segements relating Siddhartha's story than in any of the modern day goings on, even if Keanu Reeves seems to mainly be in the film to look pretty (which his delivery of lines suggests). more

Great casting, really splendid, because when I think of Buddha I automatically think Keanu Reeves. Honestly I started to burst out laughing whenever Keanu spoke, it was pretty bad. Other than that I thought the story was interesting, and cute. I thought that it would have been more heavy handed, but it was quite passive in it's views of the world which I found refreshing. more

I absolutely love this story! I've already watched this movie at least 4 times; but I'm sure it's one I will watch over and over again. It conveys a great deal more than just a story for me. Little Buddha sparked my interest many years ago to open my mind to search for more than I was raised to believe. more

I was absolutely and pleasantly surprised to see Keanu excel in an Out of His Box piece. This is a wonderful film combining modern day Buddhism with the story of Sidddartha in a way the every day individual can understand and enjoy. Seen through the eyes of a young American boy it paints a simple yet beautiful picture of the origins of the religion and how it relates to the modern practice. more

Only half of the movie is worth anything (the story of Buddha part), and that part is seriously marred by Reeve's terrible portrayal of Siddartha. The movie would have been pertty average if it hadn't been for Reeves. more

This movie really shows that Keanu Reeves is more than he is portrayed in "Bill & Ted" movies. That character has always been in the back of everyone's minds. If you watch this movie you will think differently of Mr. Reeves. He plays a character of indie decent and he travels to find spiritual enlightenment. There is a sidestory that also takes place but this is definately a good watch. more
