Summary: A tender, sweet and funny movie
Review: I missed seeing this movie when it hit the theatre but caught bits and pieces of it on TV years later - and fell in love with it. I rented it twice and finally bought it. Not having grown up in a part of the country where racism was obvious, the interracial relationships that develop in the movie were interesting to watch. When you see little Molly's simple adoration of Corrina - if adoration can be defined as simple -it gives me hope that maybe one day people will look past the color of one's skin before they make a judgement call. Perhaps the most moving moment in the movie - and there are several - was the ending when Manny Singer, a self-confessed athiest lifts his eyes to heaven and asks God for help. What can I say except that this movie is very special and definitely worth watching many times.

Summary: An effective motion picture. Whoopi Goldberg is amazing!!
Review: I first saw this movie when it was released. I loved it. I just watched it again and was insteadly reminded of just how wonderful it is. Movies like this are hard to come by. When young Molly loses her mother she sets herself apart from the world. She even acts as if her dad is not there. Nothing seems to cheer poor Molly up. Dad (well played by Ray Liotta) decides to look for a maid/housekeeper. He goes through a number of interviews and comes up with nothing. Corrina (WHOOPIE in top form) comes to anwser the prayer they never prayed. And with a little effort brings Molly back to the world. The result is a top-notch family entertainment with warm relationships that blossom from unlikely people. This movie really ends up being a feel good movie that opens not only your heart, but your mind as well. Watching this movie should be a requirement for all of society. GREAT!!

Summary: Complete Classic- The Movie is Filled With Magic...
Review: This movie is beautiful from start to finish.Whoopi Goldberg is perfectly casted as Corrina, a black (well, duh) nanny who is employed by a white Jew (very well played by Ray Liotta), to take care of his daughter Molly (again excellently played by Tina Majorino). The plot. Manny Singer's (Ray) wife has just died leaving him and his 7 year old daughter (Tina) behind. Molly is a little lost after this and she doesn't speak a word to her father or anyone else. After employing a plethora of disastrous nannys Manny finally comes to Corrina, who is perfect. One problem: She's black, he's white, and this is 1959 segregated America. After a little while Molly begins to talk again and is generally uplifted by Corrina, who seems to have this miraculous way of bringing people back to their feet, including Manny. Corrina and Manny fall in love against all odds, and what you get is a beautiful interracial romance that at that time is classed as wrong, even abnormal. No one approves apart from Molly and her Grandfather (Don Ameche). One down side to this film, and I will add that it is the only down side, is the ending - you don't really know what happens. If I hadn't done a little research then I wouldn't have known that director Jessie Nelson had based this film on her true life story. She's black and her now husband of 40 odd years was white. This story is her story. They got married and lived happily ever after - but we have to guess. So the ending could have used a little bit more work. But that's it!! The movie is just wonderful. It's uplifting, heartbreaking, humorous and romantic.

Summary: Magical and Full of Wonder
Review: I love this movie so much I just have to take a minute to recommend it.
The focus of this movie on grief and learning to live again is warm and uplifting. Corrina, Corrina takes it easy with moments of gentle humor, quiet wonder, and reflections on different kinds of love. The role of Corrina Washington is superbly acted by Whoopi Goldberg. Great setting of the 50s. The music is upbeat and compliments the story. I can't recommend this movie more. Watch it with someone you love or when you're feeling sad. It will bring a smile to your face and lift your spirits. Appropriate for all ages.
If you like Corrina, Corrina you may also like Field of Dreams, Forrest Gump, and The Shankshaw Redemption.

Summary: Every kid should have a nanny like Whoopi
Review: This is an AWESOME movie. Whoopi plays the part Corrina with such heart and such fun, that every kid who sees her will want her for a nanny.
Ray Liotta is perfect for the part of the widowed father. Corrina Corrina runs the gamet of emotions. A must have for your video or dvd collections!:)

Summary: A romantic comedy which deals with serious issues
Review: This is a comedy romance with a difference. It is a romance between people of different races set in 1950s America. This was a time when schools, restaurants, and public transport was segregated and mixed marriages were very rare. The story starts with a touching tale of how father Liotta helps his daughter cope with the loss of her mother, and then continues as nanny Goldberg takes over the healing process to bring the little girl to terms with her bereavement. The performances of Goldberg in particular (but also Don Ameche in his final role) all gel to form an enjoyable family movie. Ray Liotta may seem unsympathetic at times, but perhaps this is more believable than most movie leading men.

Summary: Whoopee!! It's Whoopi!
Review: I am a Whoopi Goldberg fan, but most of the films I've seen her in have been comedic efforts. This movie bowled me over. Goldberg's acting is superb with so many different levels and nuances. She is perfectly cast as Corrina, the new housekeeper/angel who is hired to care for a recently widowed father and his withdrawn daughter. Her gentleness, no nonsense attitude, spirit, and intelligence make her a nearly perfect character. The complexities of an interracial relationship in the 50's are dealt with wonderfully as are themes of discrimination and tolerance. Ray Liotta is wonderful in his role as the jingle-writing dad and brings a depth and a realness to the role. Tina Majorino, as his daughter, is able to handle the roller-coaster of emotions of a girl who is confused and depressed about the loss of her mother; and yet she retains a spunk and a liveliness that slowly appears thanks to Corrina's understanding and influence. The movie is pure magic and shows the evolution of a family's grief from sorrow to hope. "Corrina, Corrina" is a must have.
