Pluskylang Great Film overall

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

moviedude1 Alright, I admit it. I've made the mistake of reading some of what other people have said about this film and I have a hard time concentrating on the film, rather than the comments on the film.First of all, for all you people who put down this movie, I sit here and say, "Fine!" It's your opinion and you're welcome to it. But, like the synopsis says, it's a movie BASED on her life. And any movie buff knows that that means there are bound to be inaccuracies (which means you should have never watched the movie at all, because you're setting yourself up for a downfall, which is your own downfall, not the authors of this screenplay.)Two other things I would like to point out: 1) For someone to be remembered AT ALL this long after they've passed on is a miracle in itself. I'd be HONORED if someone were basing a movie about my writings a hundred years after they've been written. And I'm sure her family appreciated the sentiment, as well.2) It had been a long time since I had seen Richard Thomas in anything theatrical, so I thought it was a nice touch to involve his talents in creating this portrayal. For someone who has created an icon from the Waltons—that has lived 3 generations now (I was a kid when it came out & I am now old enough to have grandchildren) and is still going strong—to an icon like Charles Ingalls. I felt that this fact added credibility to the film, as I've heard about Mr. Thomas convictions on the parts he agrees to play. The only sad part I find in this is that there weren't more of these types of films made or that I have YET to see PART II.7 out of 10 stars!

fxyhorsegurl I Love this movie but wish it was on DVD, like a mini series or something. Why can't they show it on TV again? I think it was more like the real story of laura and i should know because iv read her books. some of the other movies just don't show the real things about her and thats why i like these two movies, because they show most of the things that iv read about her. i wounder if it didn't get put out on DVD because it didn't good reviews, but if it was up to me i would definitely put it out on DVD or on TV.I'm a big Little house on the prairie fan and i just think that there isn't nothing but bad junk on TV and i think that fans would like to see more of good things that a family can watch together.

Rebanne YUCK. This movie was soooooooo fake, totally untrue. I've read all of her Little House books and several biographies. None of them give me the impression that the real Laura was in any way like this fictional Laura. Meredith Monroe was so annoying, sniping, and so plainly terrible. I cannot stand her even on Dawson's Creek. Richard Thomas was the only halfway believable character. Sigh...... Needless to say, I was disappointed! Both thumbs down and would not in any way recommend this to ANYONE!!!!!

susan_gleason The 1970's TV series was more accurate than this sensationalized, shallow version of Laura's life. Whoever greenlighted it should at least have titled it "Beyond Dawson's Prairie: The Completely Inaccurate Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder Which will Make You Wish Richard Thomas had Stayed on Walton's Mountain".
