Summary: 5 Stars
I simply adore this film. It's poignant and sweet and very touching. It's just like the candy described in the film - it makes you melancholy because it reminds you of the good and the bad times. I'd be lying if I said that it didn't make me shed a few tears. And yet, it manages not to be sappy. Sentimental? Yes! Saccharine? No! This was my second viewing of the film and I was as delighted with it this time around as I was with it originally when I saw it three years ago. DVD Review: Great movie for kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie for my 3yr old Godchild and she loved it. I decided to purchase it for her & this is all she watches when she comes over to our house. I don't know how she does not get tired of watching it, she already knows all the scenes. DVD Review: I believe this one will be a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best children's book that I have read in a long time. I read books prior to giving them to my 9 year old grand daughter, or we read books together for the fun of it.
This story is so clever that we both liked it. As an adult it was just as entertaining for me as it was for a 9 year old. The characters are charming, clever and endearing. The diaglogue flows along easily and is very witty. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and cannot wait to see the movie. Hope the movie is as good.
DVD Review: Nice little adaptation of the book
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm weird about great books being turned into movies. While I consider "Winn-Dixie" to be one of those stories better left as a film, it still turned out truly darling. Anna-Sophia Robb is a cute and talented little actress (and I must say how impressed I am about the path her career is goin) and she is able to pull off the character of the precocious and adorable India Opal. Still, as great as the cast is, the story is a little awkward on film--what is sweet on paper needs to be careful about the cheesy line on the big screen. I'm a little reluctant to recommend this to fans of the books just because this movie could go either way of opinion. But, for all it's worth, I liked it and thought it was a decent tribute to the great book.
Description of Because of Winn-Dixie
Based on the best-selling book, BECAUSE OF WINN-Dixie is the heartwarming "tail" of a young girl (Annasophia Robb) whose life is changed by a scruffy, fun-loving pooch she names Winn-Dixie. The special bond between them works magic on her reserved dad (Jeff Daniels) and the eccentric townspeople they meet during one unforgettable summer.Some people think "family entertainment" is an oxymoron, but even they might enjoy Because of Winn-Dixie. This straightforward story of a girl and her dog is simple without being simplistic, heartfelt without being sappy, and thoughtful without being ponderous. Opal (Annasophia Robb, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who manages the near-impossible feat of being cute without being cutesy) can't make any friends in the small town of Naomi until she hooks up with a dog that's running loose in a supermarket. She spontaneously names him after the store and soon the dog is leading her into unexpected places--a pet store, where she meets an awkward musician (Dave Matthews); a library, where she meets a librarian with as many stories as books (Eva Marie Saint); and into a house shrouded with underbrush, where she meets a blind old woman who sees with her heart (Cicely Tyson). This could have been sentimental glop, but director Wayne Wang (Smoke, The Joy Luck Club) and a restrained script draw honest emotions from the actors and an eerie beauty from the Florida landscape; this one of the few family movies that captures the childhood sense that everyday life can be mystical. Also starring Jeff Daniels (The Purple Rose of Cairo, Something Wild) as Opal's minister father. --Bret Fetzer
