Summary: This movie makes you smile and gives you hope.
Review: Corrina, an African American housekeeper and nanny gives hope and happiness to a grieving child and her widowed father. Set in the 1950's this interracial relationship that Corrina develops with the father is frowned upon by both their families. You've got to see how the three of them handle this predicament.

Summary: It reminded me of Sleepless in Seattle.....
Review: The child was supposed to bring the parents together (the child always knows something that the adults dont--in movies). The father had a wife that died...and then it was a matter of finding someone to bring comfort, security and happiness to the family once again. I kept thinking of Sleepless, cept some major differences. All in all it was a good movie and i'd recommend it :)

Summary: It's My Favorite Movie!!!!!!
Review: Corrina, Corrina is a wonderful movie that instantly catches your attention and keeps your emotions working over-time right to the finish. The acting is exceptional and the sound track uncomparible. Even my Husband, an action (mindless violence) movie fan, enjoyed Corrina, Corrina. He watched it in standing in the door, not wanting to admit until the end of the movie that he was infact watching and enjoying it.

Summary: A nanny helps a little girl deal with her Mother's death.
Review: Corrina, Corrina is the lovely story of Manny Singer, a recently widowed man, played by Ray Liotta, and his little girl, Molly. Molly becomes increasingly withdrawn after her Mother's death and no one can reach her. (She is delightfully portrayed by Tina Majorino.) Enter Whoopie Goldberg as Nanny/housekeeper, Corinna, and the only person who can get through to Molly. Before long, not only Molly, but her Dad, become very attached to Corinna. She becomes almost a part of the family. This becomes quite evident when Manny obliviously tells Molly to "listen to your Mother" over dinner, and later absentmindedly kisses Corinna goodbye as he rushes off to work...both of which delight Molly. Could Manny and Corrina be falling in love? It is also the story of an interracial relationship in the fifties. What I like most about this film is the way we see Molly transform from withdrawn to joyful. She blossoms under Corrina's care. The chemistry between Whoopie and Tina is magical. I especially love the way Corrina gets Molly to come out of her shell, in the most unconventional ways. I feel this is a good family film. It is touching and sweet. It is one of my favorite movies.

Summary: This Movie is beyond words----
Review: On a TNT special featuring this movie Ms. Goldberg said she did'nt know what she did. well.... I'll tell you this Academy Award winner let Mr. Liotta act. thats all and at the end of the movie when in the last scene when he showered her with kisses.. that was his way of thanking her. You can see it in his eyes (Mr. Liotta's....

Summary: Nooooo, we simply can't my darling, we simply can't.
Review: This is one of my very favorite films. When young Molly Singer's mother dies, her father has to find someone to look after her while she's at work. So he hires Corrina Washington. (Whoppi Goldberg) At the start of the movie, Molly couldn't talk much because she was too upset about her mother's death. But Corrina taught her how to communicate. Some parts were funny like when Molly spat milk in her Aunt's face, some parts were sad like when the grandfather died, but I really did get a laugh about the part when Molly wanted to go swimming in the pool and Corrina said "Nooo, we simply can't my darling, we simply can't.

Summary: A Feel-Good movie
Review: I grew to love this movie after seeing it a few times on TV. It's about a man and his daughter trying to pull things back together after their wife/mother dies. The father hires a housekeeper who brings joy back into their lives. It's fun and has great emotion in it. It may not be a blockbuster film, but it is one that I can watch over and over.

Summary: Captivating Corrina, Corrina
Review: I have only seen about 4 or 5 feature movies starring Whoopi Goldberg and even less with Ray Liotta. Of these few, Corrina, Corrina is my favorite. Corrina, Corrina is a movie with so many heartwarming moments. It is also in the rare category of movies made in the last 2 decades which actually teaches a number of lessons. The lessons in Corrina, Corrina deal with loss, love, giving, hope, faith, art, beauty, optimism, racism, and forgiveness. After Manny Singer's wife's death, he and his young daughter Molly are left alone to cope with their loss. After interviewing a number of unsuitable and eccentric applicant's as for the job of nanny, he chooses Corrina Washington. Corrina is far too qualified for the job. She is a college graduate with dreams of writing liner notes for jazz albums. But she is born too early, for she is an African-American woman, and it is 1950s America. Being an optimist with a strong faith, Corrina becomes Molly's nanny. In the process, she changes the lives of both Manny and Molly. Love blooms effortlessly between the three. Molly sees Corrina as a new mother. Corrina and Manny see beyond one ano-
ther's skin color. They listen to one another. Their tastes in music and their outlook are similar. They fall in love to Molly's glee. But their families and 1950s America is not ready for their romance. All of the actors in this movie were attractive. Whoopi Goldberg never looked better. Ray Liotta's looks and whole demeanor took my breath away. I think it was very courageous to cast Goldberg and Liotta together as love interests. Seeing them together in the film, made me wish that they were a couple in real life. Tina Majorina was precious, and one of the best child actors I have ever seem. I have been waiting to see her in more films ever since I first saw her in Corrina, Corrina. Corrina, Corrina is a nearly flawless film for the whole family.
