Editorial Reviews

From the producer of Anne of Green Gables:

Through the combination of the episodes "The Journey Begins" & "Proof of the Pudding", this digitally mastered movie was created as an introduction to the award-winning "Road to Avonlea" series. In it, Sara Stanley, a young socialite, is suddenly sent to live with her deceased mother’s relatives in Prince Edward Island. She must adjust to life in the small rural town of Avonlea and learn to get along with her cousins who become victims and cohorts in Sara’s antics and misadventures. Everything comes to a head when the adults are called away and her older cousin, Felicity, is left in charge not knowing what troubles will ensue.

Includes: - "The Making of Avonlea" featurette with cast & crew interviews and behind-the-scenes information.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2 episodes = 1 movie, June 26, 2006

This review is from: Road to Avonlea The Movie - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables (DVD)

If you haven't seen the Road to Avonlea series this would be a good way to find out if you are going to like it. I liked it and am now buying the series.

Basically, the movie is episodes 1 and 6 cut and edited together to make a reasonably coherent movie. There is a bit of a continuity jump in the middle but that is to be expected.

Road to Avonlea is based on L M Montgomery ('Anne of Green Gables' Fame )stories about Sara Stanley a "poor little rich girl" sent to live with relatives on Prince Edward Island.

It has all the charm and grace of "Anne of Green Gables" and all the humour too. If you are looking for a family friendly movie then this has a lot going for it.

The disk has a small extras section giving some backgound to the series. If you want to know more about the series have a look at the reviews for seasons 1-7.

This review is from: Road to Avonlea The Movie - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables (DVD)

I am a fan of L M Montomery's work and I love how Kevin Sullivan can turn her books into wonderful productions.
Anne of Green Gables , the sequel and the continuing story are loved by so many people around the world
and this movie turn series that lasted seven seasons is no exception.
If you enjoyed the Anne Movies or/and books by L M Montomery you will not be disappointed with this production.
I have brought this and An Avonlea Christmas for my friends.
No Complaints only praise after viewing them.

This review is from: Road to Avonlea The Movie - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables (DVD)

This movie is family and kid oriented. Very easy to understand and nothing shocking. I would say its good for children but the storyline could be more interesting (it was a bit boring). Me and my family are big fans of Anne of Green Gables. This movie does not compare so I am a bit sorry for wasting my money.
