Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
signingemma Movies about real live people, especially that have worked so hard to overcome and endure are heartwarming. I am grateful to see that there is good in the world and everyone is not self-absorbed. Sometimes people are faced with trials they have no control over. Keeping positive and looking to the future usually ends in better results than sulking and complaining. No one wishes for hard luck to fall on others. We need to remember that if we currently are prosperous, we should consider those in need. It may turn out that they can help us in the future. This is a great movie that reminds us of what it means to be human and charitable.
jotix100 "A Home of our Own" is a film that shows the struggle of a poor woman with six children who has had it with her life in Los Angeles. When she loses her menial job, she decides to pack it and move on. We saw this film when it first came out, but watched it again when it showed on cable the other night. The film was directed by Tony Bill.The best thing going for the movie is Kathy Bates. As the determined and strong Frances Lacey, she does amazing work. Ms. Bates, one of our best character actresses, is a joy in the film. One thing that comes clear is her love for her children and her determination to get ahead. By relocating in a remote area of Idaho, her gamble pays off. Not only is she able to succeed in getting her own home, thanks to the kind Japanese man who owns the land, but she gives the children a positive lesson on how to be somebody and to struggle for what they want. Edward Furlong, as Shayne, also makes a great contribution to the film.Watch it because the heart warming story.
whpratt1 Kathy Bates(Frances Lacey)also "Misery'90), performed outstanding acting skills as a wonderful mother who just plain loved her children more than herself and was able to warm the hearts of many people she encountered, especially, Soo-Tek-Oho who owned a broken down shack and a few acres of land, which turned out to be a great Mansion for her children Edward Furlong(Shayne Lacey),"Three Blind Mice " Clarissa Lassig(Lynn Lacey) and a few more children. This film will warm your heart and soul and will definitely make you shed a tear or two. We need more picture of this caliber, which is a true story and down to earth and REAL!!
Rufus Rufai I remember when i first saw a glimps of this movie on cable, and i hunted it down until i saw it all, and let me tell you this movie is great, i couldnt stop laughing from begining to end, the christmas scene is classic, the look on those faces were pricless so priceless i was on the floor in stitches, i reccomend this movie to any who wants a good laugh.
