Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

David Goodman Everything about this movies is bad. The children's dialog is not what children would say. The actors/actresses dialog is unbelievably simple-minded. The depression era setting is perfectly clean and un-lived in. Houses are perfect - with the best drywall (drywall didn't exist in the depression) anyone could create, neat furnishing and perfectly painted houses - I think I saw one with aluminum siding. Nobody looks poor. The "horrible" old "mean" woman is totally unrealistic and is just "acting" mean to follow a well worn script that has been done better a thousand times before. The school teacher is a horrible actress, even the bad kid is badly scripted and badly acted. Don't believe the 10 star review - it must have been written by the production company. Saw this on the "Up" channel - supposed to be "up-lifting", but just too simple-minded to be believable. Will make you angry you wasted your time.

evanchristensen Way better than I was expecting. At first, I was thinking "these are some pretty modern hairstyles for a bunch of people living in the depression", and "look at all these well kept homes that these look more like This is the Place state park than the dust bowl". But it didn't take long for the story to suck me in and even bring me close to tears a couple of times, and I'm a stoic dude. I knew it wasn't just me when my 9-year old had to leave the room because he couldn't bear to watch the developing conflict in the story line. Obviously, this isn't a high budget production, but if you can suspend your disbelief for a bit, you and your family will be entertained while learning some valuable lessons in the process.

sharilyn-mckinley-harvey This may not be a high budget movie with lots of top named actors but it is good story and fine actors. Great story and well played. Our family thoroughly enjoyed this show. Good, family based, clean cut, meaningful, touching. Actors all did a fine job. If you're wanting a good movie to watch with your family this is it. Takes you back to the simpler time of life. There is no sex, car crashes, violence, computer generated anything or foul language! Just a good clean, enjoyable film. You will feel good about sharing this with everybody in your family, kids, grand-kids, grandparents! In our opinion you will not be disappointed. The world needs less trashy movies and more like this one!

J. H. While the idea for a Christmas movie was good, I actually blame low budgets, bad casting, (which is usually tied to low budgets) and awful directing. There were several scenes not lasting more than 30 to 45 seconds or less then just abruptly ending. Very strange. The actress playing the school teacher, Heather Beers was terrible. She cannot act and sincerely needs to learn the craft or move on to something else. The young boy stole the show along with the little girl that played his sister Ruthie. Even with a low budget, this film could have been so much better with better directing. Some lines were delivered too late, making a conversation between two actors awkward. That's a bad director.
