Summary: only for die-hard fans
Review: i first saw this movie many years ago and thought it was a bit good then i read the book years later which is so much better and different than the movie. this movie is just about nothing like the book. so much is cut out and even little details are changed. but this movie is kinda good in it's own way.

Summary: Definitley not the best movie adapted froma book
Review: As soon as I finished the book by VC Andrews, i rushed out to buy the film. To my misfortune, it was one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life. It was nowhere near as captivating as the novel, and nearly every part of the book worth reading was cut from the movie. I must say, they could have done a much better job.

Summary: Bland and Boring
Review: The casting and acting is superb. So there's credit given where it is due.However, the plot of this movie, when compared to the actual novel of the same name written by V. C. Amdrews, is just pathetic. The movie's ending stinks, the characters weren't developed hardly at all, and more than half of the things that happened in the attic were left out of the movie. If I rated the movie based on the novel, it wouldn't even get one star. If you loved the movie, you would absolutely LOVE the book.

Summary: creepy movie
Review: I really did not want to see this movie the first time that I saw it. I reluctantly sat with my cousins, my sis, my bro, and a friend to watch it. During the film, I got really enthralled into the storyline. It was really sad when little Cory died. Anyway, a few years later, I read the book. The movie did not stay true to the book. It ended very differently.

Review: This movie was so bad it was good. The acting was lousy, the music was horrible, and the script was less than desired.

Summary: TWISTED
Review: This movie is a total trip! A shining example of human cruelty and utter coldness. What is best about 'Flowers' is the creepy tone that it carries throughout. Don't want to give anything away about the story but I will tell you that this one keeps you guessing. Movies made today are very predictable; take what you would least expect and expect it. I guarrantee that by the end of this movie you will have a sickened view of humanity and the selfishness that exists in people.

Summary: More Hacking Of The Story Than In The Movie
Review: I read all of V.C. Andrews books pertaining to the Foxworth family, and I found them all top notch books. What happened with this movie was an act of total injustice. It seemed as though they tried to merge Flowers In The Attic With Petals On The Wind in a very haphazard way. Louise Fletcher turns in a terrible performance as the wicked grandmother who is supposed to torture the kids in the story, but it's pure fluff in this movie. Maybe she should've called on The Prophets to help her with this role. If Hollywood didn't want to be bothered with doing a movie for all 5 books in this series that's one thing, but get someone to not turn a marvelous piece of novel, and create slop for the pigs. I was disappointed with this version of the story as I feel that the director had no clue of what to do. I would even venture to say he didn't read the book. I would say the only time to watch this movie is if you can't afford a night out on the town, and there's nothing else on t.v. until "While You Were Sleeping".

Summary: The Flowers Have Wiltered!
Review: First off, I had to laugh at one of the earlier reviews that said this was based on a true story. Uh, no it's not, although I SUPPOSE it's possible that somewhere in the world, there were four children forced to live in an attic so their mother could inherit millions. Anyway, this movie is poorly edited, badly written, and unimaginatively directed, with only a few flashes of inspired acting. However, having said that, the movie is also very engrossing and involving, and like a bad accident, you can't take your eyes off of it once you start watching. It's clear from the choppy editing and short running time that scenes were removed, such as the incestuous love affair between the two oldest siblings and scenes involving the mother and her fiancee. How unfortunate that the DVD doesn't feature those deleted scenes... perhaps the movie would have been better if they hadn'd been deleted.

Summary: If you're familiar with her work...
Review: If you're a VC Andrews fan, be aware that this movie will not have the amount of enchantment that the books had. This movie was made from a series of five books and can not possibly capture all the events in just 90 minutes.The events had to be rushed in order to get to the main plot of the children in the attic and what they went through. In my opinion, things went at the right speed to convey the importance of each thing happening. If you've read the series, be prepared to see that this is will not live up to that. Try to have an open mind. For me, the different ending was sort of cool. It was different and added excitement. It was something new and interesting for a book I had alreaady read. I'm glad they did that. I would just have liked to see a more modern portrayal with better quality. All in all, a new adventure for loyal fans.

Summary: Bad bad bad
Review: This movie doesnt even work. They chopped it up so bad that it doesnt make any sense. I think the studio must have thought that everyone had read the book and could fill in the gaps...so much that they changed the whole ending.
Don't waste your money-- rent it if you must on dollar day Tuesdays!
