brilliant actors, brilliant editing

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is an excellent movie. It is probably in my top 3 DCOMs I've watched. I watched it one day because there was nothing else on. After about 5 minutes, I was hooked and couldn't stop watching. The characters acted like real characters, and I can easily tell what's happening during the time it takes place, since I've spent a lot of time learning about it in school. The acting is also excellent. I love to watch Piper an Mahree become closer in their friendship. I wasn't able to see the ending, but I can tell that the ending will be good like the rest of the movie. The older Disney Channel Movies like this one are really good.

Glad I check out this site for good movies! I had SO many to choose from tonight, but after seeing all the "user ratings" it was obvious which one would be a good one. I suspend objectivity to a degree to get into watching any movie, or else I'd merely be seeing a flickering lit screen. But I thought this movie did very well, even if the insensitivity of the Dellum was atrocious. But others were just as myopic & self-absorbed in their own unconscious & asleep ego. (Yes, that's redundant.) Although I thought for the message sake that the Dellum family in real life was not like that portrayed. Funny how they were proud to be fighting racism & apartheid, but were SO insensitive & racists (like we all can be & are at times, depending on how you define racism). It's good to know who you are & what type (?) of people you resonate with. As it turns out only 5% of the users voted this movie to be a 1,2, or 3. Looks like a chunk of the brain got removed along with a heart bypass. Pity, to have lost your humanity & have no heart. How else could this be explained? I found this movie to be very moving, honest & real. And it's not just for kids. Acting's very good too. This movie sheds light & opens the heart. What do you want for 2 hours of your life? Special effects? Violence? A "good" guy vs. "bad" guy "moral"? How quaint, gullible & escapist can that be, or maybe not. Anyway, if you're alive with a heart & soul, then this ones for you. Anyway, the race war is being won here in the U.S. so far, at least until overpopulating, immigration, & economic degradation raises up it little ugly head. (This is an easy topic to address, but try the war between the sexes (genders). Good luck!)

This is one of my favourite films of all time. The star Lindsey Haun (Mahree), was absolutly brilliant, and is such a great actress. I loved the overall message in the film, and it was very good, even though it was a disney movie. This is probably the best one they have ever done. It didn't have the glossy- cheerful- everyone is special sort of theme to it. I hope they will make another film this strong in the future! I hope that kids and adults all recived the message that it was trying to portrey. Lindsey Haun is very natural when acting and I really enjoyed her in Brave New Girl as well. All people should definatly check out this film! It teleports you to what life was like, and it takes a while to gain a sence of reality once it's through.

I thought that this was a really good movie that teaches a lot about what went on back then. I am reading a book called Cry, The Beloved Country in school right now and this is exactly what it is dealing with. All the law and acts that were passed in South Africa. This movie I think takes a pretty realistic look at all the problems South Africa had. And to have a white girl from South Africa was a good idea. It shows that not ALL white people were the same. She was pretty open minded and I think that this movie should be shown to anyone is studying/learning about the trials in South Africa. (Apartheid)
