DVD Reviews of The Man in the Moon
DVD Review: Family tends the heart
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful, gleaming gem. No gore. No action. No shielding the kids eyes from what might be seen. A languid yet moving story of love, family, loss, disappointment and reconciliation.
Other reviewers have aptly explained the endearing and tender quality of the movie and its players. No need to cover that ground again; it is all true. The only thing I would like to suggest is that you treat yourself to a Saturday evening on the sofa with someone that understands and appreciates a quiet story of the heart.Come Sunday, you're likely to feel you know each other more.
DVD Review: Young Reese shines!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Reese delivers a wonderful debut performance and I could not have asked for more for a birthday present. This is a great film about a coming-of-age love story, and I will definitely pass it on to my friends and family. I love it!DVD Review: Cannot Say Enough About What A Great Film This Is!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A young Reese Witherspoon will steal your hear as the young Dani, a fourteen year-old girl who has discovered her first love in Court, a friend of the family.
She plays this character with such emotion, heart and the soul of someone who was a lot older than her young age at the time. Dani steals your heart as her love falls for her older sister, who try to hide it from her.
The whole cast were remarkable in their roles and the movie had a great story from beginning to end.
I highly recommend this.

Description of The Man in the Moon
Oscar(r) nominees* Sam Waterston and Tess Harper and veteran actress Gail Strickland (Norma Rae) join three talented newcomers in this deeply moving film (Los Angeles Times) about coming of age and sexual discovery in rural, 1950s Louisiana. Brilliantly directed by Robert Mulligan (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Summer of 42), The Man in the Moon is a poignant and bittersweet tale Roger Ebert calls a wonderful movie...a victory...a meticulously prepared masterpiece. Fourteen-year-old Dani (Reese Witherspoon) and her older sister Maureen (Emily Warfield) have always shared everything. But when Court Foster (Jason London) moves in next door, the sisters become rivals as Dani experiences her first feelings of affection and Maureen finds the true love she's longed for. But with love comes heartache, and the sisters soon learn a tough life lesson when tragedy strikes and the strength of their bond is the only thing that will keep theirhearts from breaking. *1984: Actor, The Killing Fields; 1986: Supporting Actress, Crimes of the HeartA jewel of a sleeper, The Man in the Moon comes off as a nearly perfect short story of two sisters' first competition in the field of love. In a 1950's small Louisiana farm town, 14-year-old Dani falls for Court, a 17-year-old engaging neighbor boy. The two become great friends, but Court is more interested in Dani's 17-year-old sister, Maureen, who is blossoming. Dani will look for any justification why she should be with Court, but as human law dictates, there is no cure for a 14-year-old with a crush.
The film is another winning portrayal of small-town adolescence from Robert Mulligan (To Kill A Mockingbird). His eye for casting is impeccable, with Sam Waterston and Tess Harper as the earnest parents and newcomer Jason London as the dreamy Court. The real find, though, is Reese Witherspoon as Dani. Her timeless work here is magical. The PG-13 rating is a bit heavy-handed--although the film does not shy away from its look at budding sensuality, or a horrific and emotional accident. Mature 10-year-olds may find one of their favorite films here. --Doug Thomas
