Excellent work, shotty product..., March 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best Little Girl in World (1981 TV Movie) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film is wonderful, as it moves beyond the book and towards a more general and mass-informative genre regarding eating disorders. I first rented this video from the original producer, FOX, and the quality was so much better. The tape was in SP, and excellent quality. This company, however, charges a market price, 5.99 for a poorly reproduced "dub" in EP format, with glitching, and a "bootleg" presentation. Do not waste your money! There are reruns of it on television, and always the prospect that FOX will re-release it. This video will not last very long, so you may find yourselves purchasing it again, in its poor form. BUYER BEWARE.

Anorexics Beware, December 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best Little Girl in World (1981 TV Movie) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
An eating disordered person myself, I was shown this movie during my stay on an Eating Disorders Unit. The particular case of anorexia portrayed in the film is not overly representative of the disease. The film was not at all enlightening and only had a negative effect. The actress, whom I assume must have starved herself to play the role, sent all of us into a frenzied desire to be as skinny as she is.

The Best Little MOVIE in the World!, July 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best Little Girl in World (1981 TV Movie) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
My cousin and I first saw this fantastic film on Odyssey. Even then we knew this was the best movie ever!! It's a shockingly life-like portrayal of the disease called anorexia nervosa. Jennifer Jason Leigh put on an unforgetable performance that could not have been played by anyone else. Soon after we saw the movie, we read the book. I would reccomend both to anyone.
