Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

AztecQueen2000 I grew up on the American Girl series. So, naturally, I was very excited about the books being re-done as movies. The Molly movie was just terrible, and threw in too much that wasn't in the book. Since the movie took place in 1944, we would expect that Molly would have become long accustomed to the changes that US involvement in WW II brought. Instead, she whines her way through everything. The movie shows a world and a family that managed to pass through 1942 and 1943 relatively untouched. In the books, she was excited about Emily's coming from England to stay with her family. Her father was away in Europe until the very end; he did not "suddenly" decide to enlist. What happened to her stay at summer camp, her troubles with multiplication, or her school's war assistance drive? Moreover, the finale never happened. Molly did not perform in the tap recital--she got sick from trying to curl her hair and sleep on it while it was wet. Can they get much worse? I hope not.

una-20 Due to having two daughters who are obsessive followers of the historical American girl dolls, I've read all the books and watched all the movies. I thought that the Samantha and the Felicity movies were exceptionally well done - true to the books and meaningful in presenting the time they represented for children. The same cannot be said for the Molly movie. This depressing and disjointed movie had little in common with the books and did little to illustrate the time period represented. The writing was just terrible - it made Molly look like a snotty, whining brat, had random cultural things dropped in just for effect(the jitterbug contest on the village green?), and was slow as molasses. I was truly dumbfounded at the poor quality of this film after the other two. Less focus on Molly being miserable and the constant deaths and more focus on the bravery and efforts of those on the homefront and what they were doing to assist the war effort and make due with what they had would have helped. More explanation was needed for children to understand - why would there be a scrap metal drive, or socks and blankets knitted, or rationing? None of it was explained, just dropped in the scenes in passing. The saccharin ending rang very false(I'm not saying what). That being said, the character of Emily and how her story was addressed was, I thought excellent and well handled. The acting was fine, if lacking in passion, but that was the problem with the film and script in general.

Ameliasmama2000 I watched this movie with my six year old daughter and my Mom. First let me say that this a good family movie...they seem to be rare today! We all enjoyed the story of Molly and her family set during WW II. It was a first glimpse of the WW II era for my first grade daughter. My Mom was in fourth grade when her father went off to serve in the war so she could really relate to the story and enjoyed it a great deal. At one point during the movie my mother remarked "this is quite a history lesson". The story is so interesting that most kids won't even realize that they are learning as well as being entertained.This a a must see for everyone, not just American Girl Fans. A very interesting history lesson!

mooshcoop I recently saw this movie on Disney Channel. I thought it was absolutely adorable. The drama was tragic, but ended up cute in the end. I thought the little British girl was absolutely adorable and everything bad that happened to these people made me want to cry (I managed not to!). There were parts that made me unsure about it being a children's movie, due to the fact that there was lots of crying and also the British girl (I can't remember her name!) once stated what it was like waiting for the black out alerts to be over and it seemed a bit depressing. My family and I nonetheless thought the movie was cute no matter how unbelievable the ending was! I give it an eight and the cast great. If you like movies that are based on some history, but relates to people this is a must see movie!
