A movie that touches your heart!, 25 February 1999
8/10
Author: Soledad-2 from Miami, Florida

This movie made me very happy. It's impossible not to love the smart and sweet orphan girl who changes the heart of a selfish lawyer only interested in pursuing success in her career. This is a very optimistic movie and I sincerely believe that we need more films like Curly Sue. It touched my heart.
