5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing and wonderful surprise, January 23, 2003

This review is from: Bobbie's Girl [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I first saw this movie, I picked it partly because it sounded like one of those underdog types of movies, you know the one that is usually overlooked, and undervalued. And wow! It is a wonderful, moving and incredible. This is a great movie! Involved in the mire of running her own Tavern, Rachel Ward portarys Bobbie, a woman who is privately struggling with cancer unknown to her friends or lover, played by Bernadette Peters. A tragic and rather sudden accident leaves Bobbie the guardianship and responsibility of her young nephew. As time pases it proves to be in a interesting progression of growth on the part of all them, and a very warm and realistic understanding of love, acceptance and family. The acting performaces are absolutly brilliant and the chemistry between Peters, Ward and the boy are just facinating. Truely this movie is one that you should recommend to everyone you know and watch frequently!

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and moving story., March 28, 2004

This review is from: Bobbie's Girl [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I didn't expect much at the beginning of this film but was surprised by the intensity and power of the story. The acting is great and the casting worked perfectly with the characters.

Bobbie (Rachel Ward) is struggling to deal with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer and who finds out that she's the guardian of her orphaned nephew. Bailey (Bernadette Peters) is her partner who does some major maturing as she copes with a new "son" and Bobbie's cancer. Jonathan Silverman is fantastic as Bailey's brother. Thomas Sangster is devastating as Alan, Bobbie's nephew.

The story is wonderful - neither promoting nor defending sexual preferences. It doesn't need to. When faced with tough situations we are all reduced to the same emotions and that's the focus of the film.

It's so funny and believable and sweet. The little boy is adorable, and Bernadette Peters and Rachel Ward are amazing. Almost didn't recognize Jonathan Silverman -- but he's great!
