This is a story based on fact that follows a husband and wife who emigrate from Scotland to Wisconsin in the 1850's. They work very hard and become welcome citizens of their new town, Eureka. They have six children. They prosper in the husband's boat building business. But when their eldest is 12, tragedy strikes the family, and the 12-year old is burdened with a terrible task which he handles as well as any adult could. —Ron Kerrigan

Exceptionally well made...and exceptionally depressing...so have some Kleenex handy if you watch.
"All Mine to Give" is based on a real story, so it definitely has realism on its side. It's the story of a hard luck family living in Wisconsin during the mid-19th century. You see Mr. and Mrs. Eunson create a family and work hard to raise them until ultimately both parents die from illnesses--leaving six kids and the oldest was only 12. It is then the sad duty of this oldest boy to find homes for each of his siblings on Christmas.
If the film sounds incredibly depressing and awful, well, you'd be right. It's exceptionally made, well acted and worth seeing...but it's also the type film that might send you over the edge! It is not a film for anyone to see who's suffered a recent loss or is dealing with depression. It's definitely a film to see with Kleenex nearby. And I really did marvel at some of the child actors in this one...they were amazing. Though, once again, I should point out that this is one of the most painful films you could see....remember this when you choose to see the movie.
By the way, although I did enjoy the film and do haltingly recommend it, I was left wondering WHO created the fake eyebrows worn by Cameron Mitchell in the film. Could it have been Jim Henson?
