Summary: Wonderfull and truly gentle love story ....
Review: that would probably never be filmed today in a world of 'Die Hard' movies hip hop music and fast moving MTV.

Living in the backwoods of Luisianna farmlands in the 1950's, two sisters Dani and Maureen, 14 and 17 respectively, live a simple and happy life and share everything that life has to offer. That is, however, until Court moves in next door and Dani, who meets him first at the ole swimming hole, falls desperately in love with the much older boy. Court of course is hesitant about Dani's affections and finds himself in a bind when he meets Dani's older sister in a piognant scene where Dani fairly disappears like a piece of furniture....

Oh yes, for those of you that are fans of the TV series Law and Order, the father, Sam Waterston, is none other than assistant district attorney McCoy.

On the technical side this DVD is outstanding in quality cinematography and musical score. As well it's one of the few movies that are available, as all DVD's should be, in full Spanish and French ....

Summary: Grab the tissues!
Review: A few months ago i was flipping through the channels and i came opon this movie, after i had noticed that reese witherspoon was in it, i decieded i should take a look. I sat there and watched the movie, and when it ended, i cried and cried for hours. I couldn't get over how real the movie felt, i could actually feel what the characters had gone through. This was such a great movie and it is a shame that not many people are aware that it exsits. if you've never seen this movie - go out and rent it - it is soooo worth it. Even if you're a guy, you'll enjoy it - trust me!

Summary: Perfect...
Review: This is my 2nd favorite movie OF ALL TIME. (1st being "Jack the Bear.") I bought this movie the day after I watched it on T.V. I have seen it dozens and dozens of time, and I still don't tire of it. It's the PERFECT combination of comedy, drama, & romance. This movie really made me think about what's important in life. I've been a fan of Reese Witherspoon forever, and it's hard to believe that this was her debut, she's so wonderful in this roll. You MUST MUST MUST watch this movie... not once, not twice, not even three times... until you get sick of it, which I can honestly say will be NEVER!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: I saw this movie when it was in theaters, and loved it, and was amazed how it never found an audience. It was in limited release, and then never went beyond that. So I'm pleased to see (by the # of reveiws below) that it has found an audience on video. It's a lovely film. The only flaw is the ending could have been paced better. But overall I really enjoyed this film, and recommend it highly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Man In The Moon is such a GOOD Movie!
Review: I saw "The Man In The Moon" when I was about 15 years old in 1991. Aside from having the biggest crush on Reese Witherspoon, this movie quickly became one of my favorites. It is a movie about a 14 year old girl named Dani who happens to fall for the new neighboor an older boy named Court Foster, but when Court discovers Dani's older sister Maureen, Dani becomes devastated and wants nothing to do with her sister, but the sisters soon come together when tragedy strikes and forces them both to bond together which is the only thing that will keep their hearts from breaking! One of the Best movies I have ever seen! Check this out, it is good clean fun entertainment!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Touching Film
Review: Reese Witherspoon is brilliant in this touching story about a young girl who falls in love for the first time. The acting is great and the film will move you. Witherspoon is incredibly engaging and she steals the show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderfully acted and beautifully filmed
Review: It is an enigma that this film did not get the credit it does. 'The Man in the Moon' instantly became one of my favorites when I watched it for the first time, and I continue to love it to this day. It is all about a young girl's journey of self-discovery and awkward first love. As the plot moves along, we see that Dani is an irresponsible girl who just wants to have rollicking fun. After she meets Court, a seventeen-year-old enigmatic boy, she falls deeply in love with him, and she starts to become responsible and think for herself. This movie comprises of two parts: first love and a family's ability to love each other despite the odds.The relationship between Dani and her father is one that some of us can familiarize with, and the relatiobship between the sisters. Youth, innocence, awkwardness, and heartbreak-could a movie be more beautifully merged? The heat of the South can be felt even in the wintertime, and the tangibility of our first loves reoccurs. This is a wonderful movie for a summer night, when the sun is setting and memories quietly sneak up on you. Don't miss it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lives up to the hype.
Review: I rented this movie because it was impossible for me to not want to see it after reading Roger Ebert's review. To date it's still the most rave review I feel he's written. I've shown the review to many people who also then made it a point to see it. [....]

Yes, the movie is that good and something you can watch over and over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Ill fated movie romance is right!
Review: This is a great movie, with one of the most gut-wrenching scenes in cinema. I was really taken back by the turn of events in this movie. I highly recommend it, but be prepared for a very sad scene indeed. Wonderfully filmed and acted by an awesome cast.
