Reviews
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
itisme-10743 So many huge mistakes in this from the start. First the bunny that was shot was wearing a ribbon on it's neck, the dad says it probably belongs to someone in the area...duh. Next scene no ribbon on the bunny! Then when the boys put the bunny in the buggy....the parents were angry about her biting the kid and no one even picked up the bunny! Then...the girl leaves tracks in the snow....the dad finds them but calls rescue and a dog to search! Hummm follow the snow tracks...it's not rocket science people! I'm not working...shoot I'll take a job and actually not let ignorant stuff get thru to the release! Uuuuggggghhhhh
carolhowker-85916 Pleasant little film. Not too saccharin for a Christmas film. Lead child actress is very good and believable....one thing though, the 2 boys/characters need some help. 1st they shoot the bunny and then they put it in some weird pram with rocks and push it down a homemade bob sleigh ramp (I got the feeling the cousin was the instigator) I would have bitten the little bastard too!
Syl I just love rabbits and bunnies. I have had my share of pet rabbits over the years. This film has Florence Henderson as Betsy Ross aka the Bunny Lady in Michigan. The film unfolds as a young foster girl named Julia is sent to a rural town to live with a struggling family, the Coopers. They have a son, Billy. The film was shot entirely on location in Michigan so there is lots of snow everywhere. The film takes place around Christmastime. On Christmas Eve when the boys shoot a b.b. gun at the rabbit, the family seeks to rescue and heal it. The veterinarian recommends the bunny lady aka Betsy Ross who helps him heal at her place. Henderson is completely unrecognizable as Betsy Ross. She played her perfectly in this film. The entire cast does a remarkable job in their roles. The film doesn't try to be overly preachy, corny, or sentimental at times.
lindsay a This little-known Christmas movie is pretty cute. It comes off as a bit low-budget, mostly because the acting by most of the adults is less than impressive, but the little girl does a good job of playing the gloomy foster child in need of security and affection. Florence Henderson is also fun to watch. All of the rabbit care described in the movie is surprisingly accurate. Whoever wrote the film obviously has experience with rabbits. They did a wonderful job of illustrating how sensitive these animals are, and that they frequently do not belong in the hands of young children, especially without some firm guidance.There are some heavy Christian overtones in this movie. I am not religious, but that doesn't bother me in movies. However it is a bit silly/over-the-top at some moments. This story is pretty refreshing; it confronts a lot of family issues that are not acknowledged in a lot of holiday movies. Definitely worth watching for animal-lovers, people with children who are animal-lovers, and pretty much anyone who can appreciate a simple, cute family movie.
