Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
ElliesWonder A 20 years old movie which made in 1997.Good to kill time with all the nice clothing and fancy houses setting. I chose to watch this movie by reading some reviews from others saying: this movie is amazing and Jane Austen's fans will love it. Excuse me, I'm afraid to ask, how dare them compare this movie to Jane Austen's pieces?The story plot: Yes, this is a pure simple love story, simple love, simple conflict, simple character; Everything is simple, nothing deep.
mellowhartyellow To those who've been waiting and looking for it, this movie is now out on DVD! I just got mine via Ebay (when in doubt, you'll probably find anything on Ebay). I watched this movie when I was a teenager and loved it. I've been looking for this movie for a while so I'm glad it's FINALLY out! If you would like the ebayer who has this (and she's got several of them) her user name is nancyandedr. I also didn't know that this movie won an Emmy (awsome!). Can't wait to see this and someday show my daughter. I"m also going to show it to my mother - in - law who has never seen the movie. She likes the old fashioned romantic stories that Allcot is famous for. If you know of some other place that this movie can be found, please let me know.
saralynnNG My roommates and I watched this movie after a long, stressful day, and we laughed and cried. Henry Hamilton steals the show with tasteful humor and well-timed wit. As a Louisa May Alcott story, yes, it's a chick flick and sappy, but even men will love Henry's humor, in addition to a fast-paced horse race and several heated arguments. The music is descriptive; when you first meet "the bad guy," the music takes a foreboding turn. Some lines are cheesy, and Ida will drive you crazy, but all in all, it's a fun, romantic, and enjoyable film the whole family can enjoy, free of nudity and violence and almost entirely void of offensive language. Watch it! (And if you like Henry Hamilton, you'll love the 1985 movie "Saving Grace," in which he stars as the Pope.)
caffeinatedangel This film was based off the recently un-earthed manuscript by Louisa May Alcott, written at the tender, romantic and idealistic age of seventeen. The story about an orphaned girl taken into a wealthy family as a ward. She accidentally stumbles into her legacy.The film is well cast, and well acted. More interesting then the book itself is the fact that this is what Louisa May Alcott used in parts of "Little Women" as Jo's book.
