DVD Reviews of Back to the Secret Garden

DVD Review: Back to the Secret Garden
Summary: 5 Stars

Back to the Secret Garden is an excellent story for families. The video is well produced with clear audio and video. I recommend it for everyone.

DVD Review: But they are cousins!
Summary: 1 Stars

WOW! Ok, so if you know the story of the real secret garden DO NOT WATCH this! You will be very disturbed! I'm going to give two semi-spoilers, but they are little facts that get revealed very early on in the movie.

1. Dickon is dead! And the best part is the he died in War! (b/c his character who loved every living thing would so go to war!)

2. As disturbing as Dickon's death is...it gets worse. There is also the relationship between cousins Mary and Colin-ya I spent half the movie trying to figure out if they were married. (Oh, I'm not kidding!) Ya apparently incest is the new secret of the garden!
And while I watched this a long time ago, and refuse to see it again, I'm still pretty sure that they were actually married. Mary Lennox's name is Lady Mary Cravin according to IMDB.

So pretty much, either the writer, Steve Thompson, didn't read or watch the original OR he is an advocate of incest and thought no one would notice. The saddest part is that Frances Hodgson Burnett's name is attached to the movie because he created the characters. On the bright side he's not alive to see what they did to his work.

DVD Review: Secret Garden lovers
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie was just not as good as the original. Little disappointed. I guess we truly just enjoyed "The Secret Garden" so much.

DVD Review: Secret Garden DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

throughly enjoyed this movie. Sarah Hollis Andrews played the part well of Mary she is a wonderful actress. The actors played all their parts well I thought Dickon was the perfect actor for this part and was how I imagined him to be in the book as were all the actors Colin, Martha etc. I would rate this an excellent movie as I thought the story followed the book more.

DVD Review: Not So Secret Garden
Summary: 1 Stars

Have you ever seen a sequal to a movie and thought there was not really an opening for part two in the first one? Well this is one of those movies. I am not saying don't watch I am just saying if you liked the first one don't get you're hopes to high, it is nothing like it. I am not entirely sure why it is called back to the secret garden since the garden is no longer a secret but whatever.

Description of Back to the Secret Garden

Back to the Secret Garden, the sequel inspired by the classic children's tale, The Secret Garden, leads us into a magical world of hope and friendship on a grand adventure for the entire family.

It's been 30 years and the Secret Garden is in trouble again. The once vibrant and\ beautiful garden is dying and nobody knows why. The enchanted door to the garden can't be found and the magic has disappeared.

When a special girl named Lizzie is chosen to live in the castle, she discovers the garden and is determined to save it. She sneaks away from the watchful eye of her guardian Miss Sowerby (Academy Award? nominee, Joan Plowright) and runs off with the key to the garden door. Once inside, even with the help of a few friendly animals, she still can't solve the garden's mystery. She realizes that she must break all the rules and follow her heart to bring life and magic back to the Secret Garden.

It's never too late to return to the Garden. Relive the magic. Discover the mystery. And unravel all its secrets.

    Format: DVD MOVIE
    In this sequel to The Secret Garden, set in 1946, an American orphan named Lizzie (Camilla Belle) gets to live at Misselthwaite Manor in England courtesy of Mary Craven (Cherie Lunghi), who grew up there. It's now an orphanage and Martha Sowerby (Joan Plowright) has become headmistress. Although the garden is no longer secret, neither is it as lush as it became under Mary's care. Because Lizzie also has a green thumb, Miss Sowerby allows her to work on it during Sundays, but it's off limits to children the rest of the week. Lizzie just can't stay away, so she breaks the rules and gets in trouble. By the end, she has found a way--with Miss Sowerby's permission--to make the garden bloom again. Although this film lacks the suspense of The Secret Garden, it's faithful to the spirit of the original and is suitable for the whole family. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
