Heartwarming, family entertainment. Not a Hollywood type movie.
A great reminder of what is important in life, the treasures and challenges we are given everyday... a wonderful movie to watch with kids who feel they are not fitting in...

4.0 out of 5 stars Worse than some, better than a lot, November 17, 2002

This review is from: The Sandy Bottom Orchestra (DVD)

A book-to-movie is not always easy and this movie has moments where it is not quite up to par with the book, but the underlying message still comes through. It is a great story of the things we do, whether we want to or not, for the good of the whole and also of the ties that bind. Plus, Glenne Headley is a stitch as the matriarch Ingrid. Anyone who has ever felt insecure or out-of-place will appreciate this movie (and be glad it's not your family!).
