Summary: does this only prove that I really am a nerd?
Review: I love this movie so much. Though sometimes, after having not viewed it for a couple of months, I may forget to list it as a favourite, it really does touch me somewhere inside. My family (I'm only 15, you know) has tired of my watching "Corrina,Corrina" every time I catch it on TV, but I don't mind. Those small touches, just things that separate each director's work from another's, are so soothing to me. I relish the style, as well as the 50's jazz and culture. When Corrina lays the sheet on the bed in slow motion,and when Molly sings of pennies from Heaven at the pool, I smile uncontrollably. I just Love it.

Summary: A Romeo & Juliet Story (with a happy ending) set ca. 1958
Review: This film, with it's 1950s setting is dealing with a man's grief over the death of his wife, and his 7 year old daughter's slow recovery from total withdrawal, as well as the issue of inter-racial relationships (still very much a taboo in 50s suberbia!). The acting is superb, with a beautiful portrayal of a mute old man (by the late Don Ameche) who communicates with the young grand daughter who can't understand society's objections to her father's love for a black woman. -- This is Whoopi Golderberg's finest effort! If you haven't seen this film yet, I can highly recomment it! Try to get the widescreen video version, which is superior even to the DVD!

Summary: Let Whoopi shine...
Review: We often forget that Whoopi Goldberg can do drama too. Remember Color Purple ? This movie is so touching & should give a message & some hope to all of us. The little girl Tina Marjorino is so cut & sweet & play so well. As for Ray Liotta ; why don't we see him more often ? He is a very good actor. Anybody can watch this movie & I especially recommend it to youngsters &.... to people who have difficulties with people of another coulour than theirs.

Summary: This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!
Review: Like Robin Williams, Whoopie Goldberg is known for her comedy yet lets us experience all the other human emotions when she performs in a movie like this. I don't know how many times I've seen this and still I let all my feelings go! I appreciate Ray Liotta'a performance more than any of his because it's so gentle. And Tina Marjorino is absolutely precious. This movie delves into more than you even realize watching it the first few times and I think I'll find more and more in the future. Very few movies are worth watching so many times--it'll rip at your heart and make you happy to be alive all at once. I am thankful for this movie.

Summary: This was a very touching film. She always brings happiness.
Review: In this film Whoopi portrayed a wonderful person. I was very touched by this movie, due to the fact that in the movie she brings happiness into a home that was broken due to a sudden death. And this is the kind of reaction you would get if Whoopi was to walk into anyone's home when they were depressed. I loved that movie and as for me I give it a thumbs up.

Summary: corrina,corrina: THE BEST, THE BEST !
Review: Am now working on my 4th viewing of this superbly written and acted version of life as it truely was in the 1950's. SO many issues brought to the viewer in a smart, funny, thought-provoking package that pulls at your heart strings again and again. Just another chance to see Percy and "Lois" may make me view it a 5th time! The cast and director have produced a classic.
