Am I the only one who thinks the kid is annoying?

The kid was annoying as hell, but that added a bit to the car scenes. I can't stand movies when a child suddenly acts like a war veteran in a stressful situation. It felt very realistic and the restaint and poise of the mother was incredible. I probably would have yelled at or backhanded the kid.

I think you're a jackass. What is sissyfied about being frightened of a huge mean dog that could tear him apart.
I thought his reactions were very genuine. More so than other movies where kids in scary situations seem way too calm.
I actually think I would have yelled even more if I was his age in that situation. Obviously, not everyone can be as brave as you. Guess me and the kid are both sissies. -

Yea I gotta agree with you here.
When you got a huge dog foaming at the mouth and in a rage trying to tear you to pieces and you're stuck in a little car we'll see how tough you are. My guess is your pants will smell a bit, actually a lot.
The kid thinks of the dog as a monster, you on the other hand will be much more frightened because in short order you're gonna realize that this big ass dog is rabid and there's not gonna be any negotiating with it. It's not gonna go away or stop trying to kill you until you or it is dead.
Now stop crying and be a man, it may die before you starve to deathmaybe.
There's one huge problem with this movie as compared to the book. In the book we can get into the dog's mind as he goes insane which makes it that much more horrifying and you DO pity the dog while you become afraid of it at the same time. That's something that's never really conveyed in the movie, if it can ever be. -

Gotta agree with all of you on this. I thought it was realistic, he's a young kid, how else was he supposed to react to a huge rabid dog trying to tear him to pieces? Was he supposed to grin at it like Jack Lemmon in The Out of Towners? LOL, come on, OP, ANY kid would scared sh-tless in that situation, probably you too. I know if I was a kid, I'd be terrified as well.

Yes. I mean how would the other people who think he was annoying feel if a rabid 200 pound dog was attacking, had attacked their mothers, and was practically in the middle of nowhere with no help and no hope?
Daniel was great ! -

I think Danny did a wonderful job! These days, most child actors can't pull off those kind of reactions. He makes me wanna cry because he looks genuinely scared. I mean he's six for goodness sake; Cujo looks like a monster and his mom was being attacked by the monster; I ask you, how is the six year old suppose to react to that? It doesn't matter whether the kid is a boy or a girl.they're gonna freak out.

I'm with you, my_FAV. I thought Danny did a fantastic job. Watching now, for the first time in years, and again I am struck by how well he pulled off being completely terrified, as a small child would be in that situation. (Hell, as I would be, too!)
P.S. Love your quote. Roseanne, right?

Yes he was irritating, but it didn't seem like over acting. I thought it looked like he was genuinely terrified. As though they stuck him in the car & didn't tell him what would happen. LOL, like that would be allowed.

Ughhh! He was so annoying. I really wanted Cujo to eat him. I dislike most kids in horror movies, unless they are the antagonist. The inclusion of kids in horror movies tends to PG-13ify it, which to a horror movie, is the kiss of death. There are some exceptions but few and far between. Guillermo del Toro was one of my favorite directors, but his seeming obsession with making a kid part of the central story, if not a protagonist, has seriously downgraded him for me. Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's backbone are 2 exceptions to the above.

lol even though I've gotta criticize you for thinking a boy of 6yrs of age is a sissy for being scared sh*tless of a rabid (possessed?) dog attacking him and he's mom, its amusing that the kid turned out to be gay.

Unless you're a troll, you'd beep your god damn pants to oblivion in front of that dog. No, not at Tad's age of five, but at your current age. You'd be the one screaming for a mommy, and we'd all just stand there and laugh our brains out until the dog fangs out your eyeballs and rends your intestines apart.

make a post about how much of a pussy this kid was.
Because a 4 year old little boy was afraid of something in his closet and of the 200 lb dog that was attacking the car that he was trapped in and then attacking his mother? How was he supposed to actsit calmly or jump out of the car and kick Cujo in the teeth? lol
