Summary: "Little Women" w/Winona Ryder , a must see film!
Review: The 1994 version of "Little Women" stars Winona Ryder in an Oscar nominated performance. This film also co-stars Susan Surandon, Gabriel Byrne, Christian Bale, Claire Danes, and Kirstin Dunst. The star power alone in this film makes it worth watching! This film is faithful to the book "Little Women," by Louisa May Alcott, which it is based on. I have seen "Little Women" dozens of times and I highly recommend it, especially to families, children, and women of all ages. Byrne and Bale are both romantic and unforgettible and the lasting love and affection between the March sisters is endearing. The film takes place during the Civil War, which the father is off fighting. This leaves Marmee to raise their four "little women," conservative Meg, impetuous Jo, who longs to be a writer, fragile Beth, and romantic Amy, who desires to be an artist and marry a wealthy man. Marmee guides them in generosity, independence, virtue and romance. The sisters share their most cherised and painful memories growing up. "Little Women" is a feel good movie with heartfelt emotion and humor, well worth buying and watching again and again.

Summary: Beautiful Film of a Classic Story
Review: There is an old maxim in Hollywood that good books make bad movies. It's only in filming lousy books that you have a chance to make a good picture. Nowhere has the lie been put to that old saw better than with this picture, the fourth (and best) film adaptation of Lousia May Alcott's beloved novel. This is one good book that has made a great film, one of the most charming and delightful I have seen in a long time.The story revolves around the four March girls, all of them bright, beautiful and talented. Jo (Winona Ryder) is the narrator-and the author of the story-and the primary focus of the plot. She is an aspiring writer who is afraid to give voice to her heart. Rather than write about her innermost thoughts and feelings, she squanders her talent writing lurid melodramas and purple tales of romance and intrigue. It is only when she gives in to her muse and puts her true passion into her work that she finds fulfillment. Next in age is Beth (Clare Danes), a quiet girl plagued by ill health. When she sits at the piano, you forget her frailty, captivated by the beautiful music she makes. She is a lonely girl, not as ambitious as her sisters. The only thing she wants from life is to stay home, protected by the loving embrace of her family, especially her beloved mother Marney (Susan Sarandon). Youngest is Amy (Kirsten Dunn as a child, Samantha Mathis later), a charming little child who grows into a lovely young woman and a promising artist. She is the one who has the clearest picture of her future. No matter what, she is going to marry a man with money. The oldest girl, Meg (Trini Alvarado) is the odd one out. She is not as pretty, smart or gifted as the others. She is, though, the most refined and proper sister, always concerned with the girls' behavior. She is also the one who finds happiness the quickest. On no fewer than half a dozen occasions while watching "Little Women," I found myself on the brink of tears. It is certainly a story that evokes strong emotions. They are emotions, though, that are genuinely earned. I was so moved because I cared so much about the March girls. When they felt love or joy or sorrow or pain, I felt it along with them. That is a tribute to the fine work done by director Gilian Armstrong, screenwriter Robin Swicord and, especially, these five wonderful young actresses. It is rare to see a film that deals so honestly and thoughtfully with the love shared between siblings, especially if they are women. These are girls who share a bond that is more important than marriage or wealth or anything else. To watch them together, to see the casual intimacy and obvious affection they share for each other is to witness something really special. It is a treat to be allowed, even for such a short period of time, to be part of their family. "Little Women" is an exquisitely beautiful film, and one that I shall not soon forget.

Summary: A TRULY WONDERFUL MOVIE
Review: It lets you experience life out of their point of view. You start to feel like your actually becoming one of them. I've seen this movie many times,and it eally is one of the greatest movies ever. It's about four sisters (Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy) growing up from children into "little women" during the time of the Civil War. It's about how four young women learn to deal with their lives and the people around them changing, whether it's marriage, death, or whatever else comes their way. It has an outstanding cast, with I think the most amazing proformance by Christian Bale. He delievers Theodore Lawrence the way I think Louisa May Alcott intended him to be. Another fantastic proformace by Winona Ryder as Jo, who should have won for best actress. It is an overall good movie, and I recomend it for all to see.

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: This is a truly heart warming story of four sisters turning from children into "little women" durung the 1860s. It's as good if not better than the novel. They let you in in their joys and hardships. Winona Ryder is truly amazing as Jo, and seems to capture her character perfectly. It's a also a very good proformance by Christian Bale as Laurie, the boy next door. He makes it seem as though he really is Theodore Lawrence.

Summary: One of my all time favorites.
Review: I love this movie. I have seen at least 30 times and have nearly all the words memorized. I thought all the actors did a wonderful job. I have read the book and they did change a few things and of course as in all movie adaptations cut a few parts out but I don't care. I love every part of this movie especially the scene withe the "burnt feathers", the part when amy burns Jo's book, and when Jo is reading John Brooke's proposal and she gets that funny look on her face. I also loved the music and own the CD

Summary: Flawless...
Review: This movie is my favorite movie of all time. They found the perfect actors and actresses to play the part. Winona Ryder (Jo), Claire Danes (Beth), Christian Bale (Laurie), Susan Sarandon (Marmee), Trini Alverado (Meg), and Kirsten Dunst (Amy) all deserve a standing ovation and a couple Oscars besides. Granted, you might miss some favorite scenes that are in the book, but the movie handles the "gaps" better than any movie-based-off-a-book I've seen before. The story flows so smoothly that you hardly even notice the missed parts. (And believe me, there aren't very many.) Watch the movie. Laugh. Cry. Be refreshed by some good and decent things, for a change!

Summary: A Very Touching and Heartwarming Film for the Whole Family
Review: ***WARNING: I HAVE INCLUDED A SPOILER BELOW*** This is one of the sweetest movies I have ever seen. I am a guy and I loved it. I have to admit that Claire Danes' (Beth) death scene is probably the saddest scene I have ever seen in a movie. Very good performances by Winona Ryder and Danes. Recommended.
