Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Steineded How sad is this?

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

J926 I have seen this movie and can only give it my highest recommendation. Every once in a while it is important to go see a movie that actually makes you feel good when you leave the theater. Come Away Home provides such an experience and I would heartily recommend it for anyone who may be looking to go see a thoroughly enjoyable family movie that is free of violence, profanity or otherwise objectionable behavior. It's pleasant feeling envelopes the viewer and lingers long after the movie has ended. Wonderful scenery on Hilton Head Island is enhanced by heartwarming, humorous and meaningful performances by all of the main characters, including Paul Dooley and Martin Mull who hearken memories of Lemmon and Matthau, Thomas Gibson and Lea Thompson who enjoy a chemistry that has been honed as a result of their several past performances together, Jordan-Claire Green, a beautiful young lady whose screen presence plays far beyond her years and Gregg Russell who evokes many poignant emotions from viewers through his touching performance. This movie is a "hidden gem" and is a must see for all family moviegoers. You will surely enjoy the experience and will leave the theater smiling.

smartyreviewer I saw this film in the theater because I like to support independents, and I found it to be very well done. I typically prefer not to watch child actors, but the 12-year-old lead girl was excellent. The Grandpa, who played the Dad in Sixteen Candles, seemed so genuine in all of his scenes.There was a fair bit of comedic moments... I longed for more actually because there were a couple of great comedy combinations with the actors. However, the overall acting, the unique backdrop of the locations, and the subtleties of the screen writing made this film enjoyable to watch... and very touching as well. I recommend it highly if you can find it.

heatherfraraccio I was a bit skeptical going in to see this movie, being that it has a G rating and was presented as a family movie genre film. That melted away in the first 15 minutes. What you have here is just a good movie for the sake of being good, with real characters and deluge. Annie is a very realistic girl for her age and her behavior isn't sugar coated. Grandpa Donald and Barney are people that you feel like you could have met or known at one time. Its just very easy to get caught up in the movie and be taken away for a bit, which is what I look for in a good movie. You can't help but be moved and in the end come away feeling good after this movie.

toycti I have a feeling that the 20 or so people who have rated this movie so high as of now are family/friends of the cast and crew. It was just OK. Some of the acting could have been better, not to mention the story line. But I think it is a good movie for families. Especially kids. Completely harmless but not a masterpiece worthy of such a high rating. But I did laugh a few times and a tear or two fell during some of the really "precious" moments. The little girl was very cute and thank God she didn't have a dog named Winn Dixie! All in all it wasn't a waste of time but I wish I had seen The Interpreter instead. My advice: Unless you have kids wait for the video. Or catch it on TV some rainy afternoon when you have nothing better to do. Better yet, if you want to see a good kid's movie, rent "Once in a Blue Moon" or "Harriet the Spy."
