Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good But Not Great Comment: This was an enjoyable movie, but not the same quality as a BBC adaptation. It's easy to see this is a made for TV movie. It makes for a fun new flick to watch, but not one I'd rush out to add to my collection. Instead try North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell, NOT Patrick Swayze) or Wives and Daughters - two delightful period pieces VERY well done by BBC. Customer Rating: Summary: Enjoyable but average Comment: This is an enjoyable and well made romance even if a little formulaic and definitely predictable. I was amazed to read on the dvd that this was written by Louisa M Alcott, but it is explained a bit when I read in here that she was 17 at the time. It is a real young girl's variation on Cinderella and I suspect a bit like the stories Jo March was producing before her Professor advised her to write what she knows, and from the heart. For the first time, I feel a bit mislead by the ratings and comments in here and have bought a dvd I can't see myself watching again, and that is why I decided to comment. I would rather rewatch Ever After and other variations on Cinderella than this one. I am also left wondering where people who rate it 5 go with their voting when viewing a high class period drama like Little Women and others. Customer Rating: Summary: Worthwhile watching....... Comment: The actors/actresses were great and I can vouch for this movie. Got to watch it. Very good representation....with no regrets. Customer Rating: Summary: Story not done justice by low budget production...a shame Comment: It is painful when you have to review a film for what it IS, without influencing your opinons with how great the author is, how decent the costuming was, or how attractive the actors were in their roles. It is a shame.... that the film was low budget, and was not able to live up to the potential that I could forsee this story having. The music hit me first off, verrrry cheesy/low budget, and was often times distracting. The acting was theatrical and forced on the part of almost EVERY actor, with the exception of the Hero & Heroine (they were fabulous). I continue to say that it is a shame, because a lovely family story is within, as well as Cinderella-like romance and mystery. The costumes were exquisite, as well as the scenery - but in comparison to other great period films, like "Little Women", "Pride & Predjudice", "Sense & Senisbility"..... this film won't stack up - it makes the adorable, but "B" movie list. It is still a decent watch if one can cast aside the "film critic" mentality. Sadly, the film is what it is - and it is a disappointment that "The Inheritance" was not picked up by a better financed production company. Customer Rating: Summary: A good girlie movie! Comment: Well, I bought this movie from the recommendation of others. As I live in Australia, I can't get it here so rely very much on the excellent ratings of everybody else at Amazon. Well, girls you haven't let me down. I love period movies, and this one didn't disappoint. I fell in love with the whole Hamilton family. The girl who played Edith was so convincing and showed an natural inner beauty that you couldn't help but fall in love with her. I can see why Ida was so jeolous of her. I won't go into the details of the movie as others have already told you the plot, but just to say thanks for your reviews. I have watched it twice now and my sister and I have cried over it, our faces looking so red and the guys just laughed. What is that makes us love such a good story like this?? Not sure, but keep them coming. :-) More Reviews
