Excellent movie, 21 July 2005
10/10
Author: tpinney11870 from United States

I watched this movie and I loved it, I found this website while trying to find out how to buy the movie so I can watch it again. I completely agree that this move may become a classic. For me it was a tear jerker, my husband watched it as well which is rare and he enjoyed it and said if I buy it he will watch it again which is very rare. The movie is about a neglected girl in the south who is taken under the wing of a very unlikely couple, I believe it was set in the 40's. Della Reese is fantastic in this movie as usual and too tall is a great actor too. The ending wasn't how I hoped it would be, but like I said I will watch it again and probably again. I recommend it to everyone.
