Review: Our whole family just loved this really special movie! It is funny, mysterious, deals with real issues that kids have to deal with every day...and has a strong moral message for kids (and parents). A MUST SEE for families who like going to the movies together!

Summary: Call it "Lawn Cats"
Review: Sorry, folks who loved it, this movie did not engage me on any level. How it can be considered good or wholesome family fare is beyond me. I am a huge fan of Evan Rachel Wood's, whose exit from kid roles this surely was, but she deserved a better script and story, and worse, she photographed so painfully thin (we daren't use the a-word) it was distracting. If satire is what closes on Saturday night, failed whimsy can't even get a tryout in Des Moines. Played seriously or for laughs, or even as tragicomedy, this might have been a winner of a film. As it was--too grim to be cute, and too un-kid-savvy to be of interest to any but the youngest children and the most sentimental adults--it's a mishmash that taxes every degree of suspension of disbelief. The female filmmakers know their homages and toss them around like confetti, lifting a little from this big-screen movie here and that TV sitcom there, but in-jokes do not a coherent film produce all by themselves. True, no dogs were killed or toys chewed up by power mowers as in Lawn Dogs, but the spoofed exurban setting and wacky kids were there, as were the little paper bags that Mischa Barton pulled around in her little red wagon in the other movie, which was outright whimsy and therefore more successful even when it turned not only serious, but tragic. One of the wacky kids in Little Secrets catches cats in a butterfly net. Riding bikes with those silly helmets was better filmed in My Girl, That Night and any number of other kid films of recent years. There is even a grimy little boy Digging To China in his backyard (his secret, I suppose), but guess what, everybody? Evan Rachel Wood made her movie debut in a very good movie of the same name when she was ten! How hip a homage is THAT? I could only wish, watching Evan's mostly unconvincing moves as a violinist, that she had been ten again, and could get a legitimate laugh with setting up a lemonade stand-like "doctor's office," like Lucy in Peanuts, by interacting with other ten-year-olds that were supposed to be her "clients" and paid 50 cents each for her "services," part of which was hiding broken and stolen stuff in these little brown lunch bags. But playing a 14-year-old going on 30, and looking as well turned out and coiffed as any sophisticated high school senior, E.R. reminded me that teenagers and little kids of today simply do not interact, no matter how much we might wish that they did, or that they did when we were younger, but don't any more. This meant, when things turned serious in the movie, as they did all too quickly, the descent into bathos rather than pathos was accelerated, the skids greased by making Evan Rachel Wood the youngest movie protagonist ever to have her very own Inner Child. In terms of child stars with speaking parts, Little Secrets is the Movie Of The Year. Even the kids who were seen but not heard, and there were far more of them throughout, will be able to look back fondly, along with their agents, and say they were part of it. But as entertainment today, one star--with or without your kids in tow.

Summary: Beautiful family film- with something for everyone!
Review: This is a true rarity: a film aimed at families that everyone in the family can enjoy and relate to. There is no pandering to the lowest common denominator here. This is a movie with characters that ring true. The predominently young cast handles their roles with a startling degree of excellence. Real issues are tackled throughout. To tattle or not to tattle? Honor, loyalty, trust: all explored with surprising honesty. The meaning of friendship, and the lengths that people are willing to go to nuture friendship. My friend's daughter and her friends viewed this film while I was babysitting them. Despite the perfectly sunny afternoon, they stayed glued to the TV till the conclusion. And you know what? So did I. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Summary: depth , sensitivity & humor in a family movie
Review: This movie delighted even my husband - who does not do the kid flick thing. My children all loved it - age 6-10, though only the eight and up crowd understood all of the elements. What amazed the adults is that here was a charming movie of an unusual but believable over-achiever who simply profits by keeping secrets for other children. The characters we follow through the movie are entirely entertaining, although there were a few minor lapses in acting believability in some of the younger children in supporting roles. The movie keeps the audience interested and entertained from one element to another as the secret keeper's own secrets sensitively unfold. We considered this worth watching several times and that is not something we usually do. The drama of the story is not quite Oscar Material, maybe a 4.5 stars, but for a family movie, Mom and Dad will be pleasantly surprised and satisfied that it was money - and time - well spent. If you are looking for a stirring and entertaining movie for children age 8-100, this one should please everyone. I strongly recommend this purchase.

Summary: Refreshing Movie
Review: This movie is wonderful i took my daughter to see it at my company and she loved it . The three main characters that stood out to me from the rest of the cast was Emily(Evan Rachel Wood), Philip(Michael Angarano) and David(David Gallagher. They did a good job carrying this film through. This is a beautiful crafted flm. It is one of the best family movies. This movie is something everyone should see.

Summary: Little secrets
Review: Wow what a great family movie!After having read a great review I decided to buy it. Normally I like to view a movie first before buying. Everyone loved it in our family from our 6 and 10 year old sons and our 12 year old up to my husband and I. We have several action adventure movies,but those are a dime a dozen these days. My Husbands favors surf documentries, and silly cartoons are among my kids favorites. While I like comedy and romance, usually they are not appropriate for young viewers. Little secrets is truely a thoughtfully fun movie that quietly surrounds your heart. My question is when is the director going to make another? Thanks to the director and Tri Star for making something worth everyone watching.
