Summary: Beautiful and Inspiring
Review: When good books are adapted to TV or the silver screen, people play close attention, and it's not often that the adaptation lives up to expectations. Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful, noteworthy exception. I have read and loved the books ever since I was a child, and I thought the movie more than did them justice. My friends all agree. Megan Follows is perfectly cast as Anne Shirley, an opinionated, carrot-top orphan who is mistakenly adopted by farmers looking for a boy to help out. Matthew is a sweet old man who takes to Anne right away, but his sister Marilla takes a while to be won over. Anne fights with boys at school and finds a bosom friend, and as the small community falls in love with her, so does the audience. Anne's story is touching and thoughtful, and the DVD generally does justice to the beautiful Canadian scenery. The picture quality could be better, but the slight grainy look actually seems atmospheric. We are transported to a bygone, magical place, and one can only come away from this feeling like a better person for having seen it.

Summary: From an Anne fan!
Review: This is a fantastic movie filled with wonder, joy, and sorrow. It stays very close to the book as well. This film tells the story of Anne Shirley, a 13-year-old orphan who falls into the unlikely hands of brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. This tale tells of the hijinks which this impulsive girl brings. Rightly balanced with hilarity, subtle humor, and even a little tragic suffering, this movie is a definite must-see for anyone who likes the novel or just someone who enjoys a good, wholesome movie. In my book, this movie is one of the best!

Summary: Cannot stop until the end.
Review: I don't remember how many times I've watched this movie. Each time, I couldn't stop the movie but finishing it. It's so heartening. An orphan girl Anne (with an e, as she will like you to say) had to overcome the perception and win over Marrila's heart. Prince Edward Island is beautifully filmed. "Lake of Shining Waters" and "The Avenue" will take your breath away. Cast is great. Megan Follows is wonderful and full of life. Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth are just as good. I can't imagine any other people playing Anne, Marrila and Matthew. The quality of DVD is good since it's digitally remastered. The movie is absolutely worth every penny of it.

Summary: Absolutely Charming...
Review: I first saw Anne of Green Gables when I was a little girl...it made such a huge impression on me then. Recently it came to mind, and I decided to buy it and see if I still enjoyed it so much. I must admit..I enjoyed it MORE! What an absolutely charming story. I honestly cant imagine anyone playing the role of Annne better. I just loved her..she was so dramatic and passionate. I would have loved to have had a "Bosom Friend" just like her. My only complaint is that at the end, I would have loved to have seen a little kiss between Anne and Gilbert..but other than that...perfect. "Anne of Green Gables" is DEFINITELY worth your time and money.

Summary: My lifelong friend
Review: Anne Shirley has been my busom friend and kindred spirit (to use Anne's words) for nearly 50 years. I grew up reading her stories and even re-read them as an adult. I was reluctant to watch the movie because I was afraid it might ruin the vision I had always had in my mind of Anne, Green Gables and all the characters. I was thrilled to see that Megan Follows IS Anne... and even Green Gables was just as I had always pictured it. Matthew, Marilla, Diana, Gilbert... all were true to the wonderful story. I'll treasure this movie, just as I do the books (which I still have).

Summary: Anne of Green Gables
Review: If you are a fan of LM Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables" then this DVD is a must. The movie adds it's own signiture to Montgomery's classic without taking any of the magic away from the story. The DVD is wonderfully put together with great features sure to please Anne fans.

Summary: A Perfect Movie
Review: A phenomenal piece of work. Unbelievably good. Beautiful in every way imaginable, acting, cinematography, scripting, editing. As I watch (over and over), I am in awe of each of these elements of the film. The flow and transitions between scenes is impeccable. In what other family movie can you have one of your favorite characters die off, smile at the beauty of the scene, and transition right back into the story without missing a beat. This movie has it all. All the harshness of life, overcoming adversity, romance without so much as a kiss... I must say that some of the supporting actors where too over the top for my liking, but by putting them in any scene with Megan Follows or Colleen Dewhurst all enjoyment is restored. That says so much about these two actresses. Add in Richard Farnsworth and you will never find a better lead cast... past, present or future. Megan Follows portrayal of Anne Shirely, from the side profile image of her face, to the delivery of the extreme fluctuations of emotions and dialog should go down as the #1 performance in history that will never be topped. Beautiful scenery... A perfect movie(10/10).
