DVD Review: Molly
Summary: 3 Stars

The girls seemed to enjoy this movie but have not watched it a second time.

DVD Review: A MUST IF YOU HAVE AG DOLLS
Summary: 5 Stars

My 3, 4, and 5 year old girls absolutely loved this movie as well as the other american girl movies. The 5 year old enjoyed seeing the different outfits that is used in the movie that can also be purchased for the molly doll. Out of all the AG movies, this one is the favored one. Did not like Chrissa at all but Kit, Samantha, Felicity and Molly Movies were very true to the period that the dolls were portraying. Molly and Kit movie keeps the 3-5 year old range very easily through the entire movie. My girls are just now getting the dolls for their birthdays this year. As you guessed, We got Molly, Felicity and Kit.

DVD Review: Molly - An American Girl on the Home Front
Summary: 5 Stars

This was purchased for my granddaughters who are big AG dolls fans. We thoroughly enjoy it, and plan to buy more as the relate to the dolls in our family! Very good family film.

Description of Molly - An American Girl on the Home Front

The doll you love comes home on DVD in a full-length, live-action movie. Molly: An American Girl On The Homefront has all the joy, excitement and you-are-there history of the best-selling books about Molly McIntire. Molly McIntire is a girl growing up in 1944. The world is at war, and she misses her father who is overseas caring for wounded soldiers. Molly doesn't like many of the changes the war has brought, like rationing rubber, eating turnips for dinner, and not seeing her Dad on Christmas. But she learns the importance of getting along and pulling together, just as her country must do to win the war! Lively and lovable, she is the star of her story. Cast includes Molly Ringwald (Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles)

Molly, a spunky heroine in the wildly popular American Girl series of books and characters, is a typical tween living in an atypical time: 1943, the height of World War II. In An American Girl on the Home Front, Molly and her friends are dimly aware of the war and the occasional hardship it can mean, but Molly (played with grace and bravado by Maya Ritter), like most kids, really hasn't had occasion to pay attention ("She just doesn't understand rations, Mom," her sister snipes). This film follows Molly as the war begins to hit home; her father is shipped overseas and her mom (a delightful Molly Ringwald) becomes a temporary Rosie the Riveter. Molly bravely rolls with the punches, yet her life is still leavened with fun, like learning to tap dance for the local Miss Victory competition. Then a young refugee from England, Emily (Tory Green), comes to stay, and Molly's, and young viewers', consciousness is raised. As always with American Girl heroines, Molly is a great role model with strong values, but never a goody-two-shoes. The period touches, including clothes, movie-reels, and background music, are well done too. Extras include a compelling documentary, Uncle Sam Wants You... to Tap Dance, featuring an interview with Mitzy Scott, an 88-year-old former USO dancer and hostess, relaying her personal history of dancing at home and with soldiers on leave, making something personal and dear to her--dance--into the ultimate patriotic act. --A.T.
