I don't know where to begin but this movie is going to be a new classic for kids...move over Sounder, Anne of Green Gables, Treasure Island....I was entranced. The actors in the movie are fabulous... I found myself making comments aloud about their acting throughout the film. The themes are timeless and ones in which we can all relate. The costumes are wonderful...I was taken back in time and couldn't leave my TV to even get a drink and I studied every detail of the dresses, hair, shoes, and makeup. If you think history is boring, watch this movie...it all will change for you and you'll realize that we all aren't so different afterall.

This is a great movie, especially if you have southern roots. So many movies that depict southern life can be hokey and not very accurate depictions.

While not all the accents are the greatest in this movie, the characterizations are top-notch. The depth of feeling and the attention to period detail are wonderful.

A warning...this is definitely a tear-jerker!

I Love this movie and ordered a gift copy to my sister who still lives in a small Louisiana town. You probably have to be a Southernor to appreciate all the nuances in this movie. For instance, no one actually refers to Aunt Dora as a prostitute, but it is alluded to in text and body language, the Southern way. To be fully aware, keep on your toes and observe to catch all the implications. Remember, most folks did not have a big income, a car, and they were not merchandise junkies, yet. I lived during this time and I found this movie to be authentic and factual including the food bounty at this country home, the friendships of both races, the love of the outdoors. Enjoy!

This movie was awesome, I was actually in Kelsey Keel's class in eighth grade and she is as sweet in real life. I love this movie and would reccomend it to anyone!

This is a genuinely heartwarming story. As a Southerner, I can vouch for its authenticity, its "realness." The portrayals of the central characters, especially Tiger, are true and done with love.
This is a great story for the young. It's equally great for those who aren't so young, but remember.

This movie is wonderful. If you love Anne of Green Gables, this is the movie for you. Growing up with a disabled mother myself, I completely realated to the young girl. I couldn't stop crying all the way through. The ending left me wanting more. We just got a brief snipit of the lives of the characters. I would definitely welcome a sequel. It is just a heart-warming movie that I think all would enjoy. Oh and by the way, you don't have to be a southern to appreciate it.

My 5th grade class read this novel for summer reading. They really enjoyed watching this movie and seeing the differences between the novel and the movie. Great read for students living in Louisiana.

An adorable movie set back in a simpler time. A good wholesome storyline for the whole family to enjoy!

A movie which will restore your faith in Films. This Emmy award winning film is worthy of the time spent watching it. It will entertain you while making you feel very good.

This movie is so real and genuine to the culture and period it represents. I like to watch this movie once a year, checking it out of the public library, when ever I do. But, my public library's DVD collection is getting scratched up beyond playability, so I purchased my own copy on Amazon.
