Summary: It is about Good and Bad Influnces and What We do with Them
Review: First of all, I give this movies 5 stars. Natile Portman outshines Ashley Judd. To me this movie is heartwarming and good. How many people think because you came from a bad background, that you too have to become bad. In Portman's role, her mother had abondoned her for a boyfriend and left her to be raised by family and friends, she became pregnant and her boyfriend went off and left her at a Wal-Mart store. She lives there for a few weeks, making a list of all items she uses, so she can pay Wal-Mart back. She has the baby, her mother returns and disappears with $500 in gift money given to her daughter. Bad and Evil is hitting this young woman from every angle, but she continues to show faith, bravery and doing the right things for those she loves and those around her. She shows us that you can make lemonade from lemons. It is wonderful, it will touch your heart and make you cry.

Summary: Destined to have a place in youre heart!
Review: This movie is touching. It gives you a good feeling at the end because Natalie Portman's role is very happy. It's rated PG-13 for language and a sex scene which is not done distastefully. The movie opens with Natalie Portman and her boyfriend moving from home with their unborn baby. When The girl goes into a Wal-Mart store, Her boyfriend leaves her, and she must live their without letting anyone know. She has the baby, makes friends in the most unusuall of places, and meets the right man. This movie is especially great for teenage girls because it shows how tough teen pregnancy can be.

Summary: A Cute Film
Review: First of all, I have to give credit to Natalie Portman, who gives a touching and believable performance as the abandoned pregnant teen. Even though the exaggerated Southern accents grated on my nerves a bit (as a Texan, these things become quite a nuisance), I found the movie to be quite entertaining, even though there wasn't much of a plot to follow--just a series of unusual events. The dialogue was a bit sappy even for my taste, but the brilliant performances and excellent cast more than made up for that. Over all, I say it was an okay film--entertaining in its own rights, but nothing spectacular.

Summary: Where the Heart is was pretty good
Review: I just saw Where the Heart Is Movie version last night, and I was kind of disappointed with it. I have read the book twice, and loved the suspense of will they or won't they (Novalee and Forney), but in the movie version there was hardly any suspense, everything just happened. Also, many events and characters that helped build the story were also cut out of the movie. It seemed like the story was rewritten, leaving some great parts out. But through the faults of the movie, it was pretty good. The plot was generally the same, which was good, but it lacked in some areas. I recommend it for anybody who hasn't read the book, you'll greatly enjoy it!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I don't usually watch this kind of movie because I usually get bored when things get too deep, but a trustworthy friend recommended it and I must say that I didn't regret buying this DVD!It is a wonderful story, told with humour and a smile, and without sentimentality and broody self-indulgence. The acting is way over the top and I was particulary inpressed with Natalie Portman that nails that trailer-trash character in the beginning and every stage in the evolution to come just as perfectly. It would have been nice with some decent extras on this DVD, but the movie itself is worth every cent so I'm really not complaining. But still, the price is above average so one would expect a bit more than a few trailers/tv-spots and a music video... Anyway, don't let this dissuade you from buying it! - Do it or you'll miss a small masterpiece!

Summary: All around good movie
Review: I saw this movie last night for the first time on video and I must say I was pleasently surprised. I feel that the movie was very good and well acted. Ashley Judd's character was hilarious and she up the comedy very well. I liked the fact she named all her kids after snack treats: brownie, baby ruth, etc. Natalie Portman did a wonderful job as well and both of these fine actresses did some of their best work up to date. Stockard Channing was also good as the character of Sister (and it was strange to see her so different than she was in Grease)... I would recommend for people to see this movie, you'll laugh and cry and at the end - you will be glad you watched.

Summary: great acting, tv directed
Review: The acting alone eclipsed the unoriginal directing in this picture. Miss Portman gave a wonderful Julia Roberts like performance. It did remind you of Forrest Gump a little, but it was a great movie to watch. sentimental and funny.

Summary: Please Don't Make Any More Movies, Matt Williams
Review: This film is awful, the kind of botch-up portrait of "small town" life that only Hollywood can churn out. Natalie Portman looks like she's fourteen. The first half hour plays like a commercial for Wal-Mart. The most inane subplot of the year in which the a**hole boyfriend tries to make it as a sangin' star. Horrible misuse of the wonderful Joan Cusack--this should be a hanging crime, friends. Worst of all, there doesn't really seem to be much of a relationship between Natalie Portman and her daughter... every note rings false in this movie. I hated it. After this and Diane Keaton's awful "Hanging Up", guys have every reason to be wary of so-called "Chick Flicks".
