Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Dorie Kay: She lost her balance, and she fell to the ground. She broke her arm, but it was her head that was hurt the most. The doctors said that she would never be right again, and that from then on, she would always be like a six-year-old. Mama never forgave herself for leaving that ladder out, and she never forgave me for climbing it up the tree.
Tiger Ann Parker: Why didn't anyone tell me?
Dorie Kay: Honey, your granny didn't like to talk about it ever, and I didn't have much memory of it myself.
Tiger Ann Parker: How'd you find out?
Dorie Kay: When I was about your age, I was frustrated because I had to take Corrina with me everywhere I went. It's a terrible thing to admit, but I was embarrassed by my sister. So one day when I was going on about how unfair it all was, Mama sat me down and told me the whole story, and that was the only time she ever mentioned it. I cannot tell you how much guilt I felt.

Good Southern film., 26 May 2002
Author: zbot007 from Florida, USA

This drama, set in the early 50's, depicts one summer of a small town girl's life. Tiger Ann Parker (Kelsey Keel) is a tomboy, raised on the farm by her grandmother and mentally defficient parents. She is "coming of age" at a whopping 12 years old and her emotions and other factors are making life difficult for her. Death, embarrassment and innocent teen romance give this girl a run for her money as she deals with life. An overall good family movie. Kelsey Keel should be looking at more jobs in the near future, if not a young talent has been sorrowfully missed.
