"It's a rare film that can touch audiences of all ages and walks of life." Zach Peterman of The Times calls the film "A wonderful, positive film the whole family will enjoy." Starring Adam Brody, Edward Asner, Illena Douglas, and Robin Thomas.

rating: 3
Edward Asner portrays the patriarch of a family who gets word that the
remains of his son lost in the Vietnam War may be found. He gathers his
sons and grandson and they go on an archaeological dig. Robin Thomas is
especially fine as the brother who came home from the war a hero and Richard Cox is very good as the brother who fled to Canada rather than
serve Adam Brody is Thomas' son. This is a nice movie from an independent
film maker. The cast probbly did it as a labor of love. I don't rememeber
it ever playing in a movie theater in the Chicago area. Thanks to home
video it can be seen.

Is it Brendan?!?!?
rating: 5
"Is it Brendan!?!?"
These words should have automatically given Ed Asner a Lifetime Achievement Award for acting.
He gloriously marveled the screen and stole the end of the movie with his enthusiasm, charm, and compassion.
Very few movies can do this...but Missing Brendan brought me there. I, too was searching for Brendan throughout the whole movie.
Highly recommended!!

if you like the oc, and adam brody like i do, you'll like this movie, cause adam plays another funny character even though it's a serious movie. and if you don't know or like adam brody it's still a really great movie anyway. i give it 5 stars.

Excellent Film!
rating: 3
I saw the Missing Brendan DVD and Adam Brodyís acting was excellent, very different than what you would think. He falls in love with this girl while his family is looking for his missing brother from Vietnam. It was a very touching story.
