Savannah Smiles

Summary: Please make Savannah Smiles again!
Review: One of my first memories as a child was of watching Savannah Smiles with my twin. We both love this movie. As we've just entered into adulthood, we'd love to own a copy of this movie to take with us when we leave. Each time I see this movie, I laugh, I cry, and I love it more and more. It's such a wonderful, wholesome movie; no sex, violence, or drugs in it. Not many movies are made this way anymore. My parents' copy of this movie is one that is getting worn out from so much viewing. I've probably watched it 200 times. But it never gets old. If anyone reads this that can get this movie brought back into my hands, I'd be greatly appreciative. I told my family that all I want for Christmas for the rest of my life is this movie. And they've looked everywhere, but come up empty-handed. Will you please re-release this movie for all those people that get a warm feeling in their heart when they see it?

Summary: Sweet movie
Review: This is a very sweet movie, if a bit naive. (Kids, don't try this--if you do end up in the backseat of a couple of criminals' car, doubt you'll have as good a time as little Savanna.) However, on a fantasy level, this is a wonderful little story. My mother took me to see it when I was 5 years old, and seeing it with my grandpa recently (he'd never seen it before, and loved it, too), I realized how much I'd missed it. The late Bridgette Andersen was one of those rare child actors who could be totally adorable without being fake or obnoxious about it, and the two criminals are both engagingly played. The poignant flashback scenes of Alfie being abandoned by his family help give the movie a tearjerking twist.

Summary: Not bad guys
Review: The review I just read made it sound as if Savannah just bumped into and left with Boots and Alvie, but she didn't. She was hiding in the back seat of their car, and these two(who are rather short on brains) don't know what to do with her. So in my opinion this isn't suggesting to children that it's o.k. to go off with strangers. Also, kids need to be taught that what happens in movies and in real life are 2 entirely DIFFERENT things!!!

Summary: Cuter than a Mogwai!
Review: This is an excellent family movie that didn't quite achieve the box-office success that it rightfully deserved. It did make the rounds on cable TV, especially on Showtime, where it became somewhat of a cult classic with not only 5 year olds, but their parents as well. I was one of those parents. Although I do not want to encourage my little girl to jump into the back of a car with two bumbling criminals, I was enchanted by this heart warming tale. Who can resist singing along with the lines, "I was born and raised in a briar patch! da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da!" I, for one, cannot. Here I am, 15 years later, browsing through the new release DVD's (I was actually looking for the adult film star Savannah, but don't tell that to my kids!), and I saw that this film was being re-released! Sold! Although my kids are now in their teens, I'm sure that they'll want to show this to their kids, and their kids' kids. A movie that transcends generations!

Summary: Savannah Smiles
Review: I loved this movies when I was a little girl. When I grew up I would see it on tv, and just cry my eyes out! I have been trying to locate this movie for many years, and have not been successful. If anyone out there would like to get rid of it please contact me at [e-mail]. I would recommend this movie to anyone. Although, I'm sure that only women and kids would like this movie. I don't think that many men would like it. Watch it as a good family night movie. Knowing some of the movies out there for children, this would be a movie many moms and dads would let their children watch again agani. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Summary: Savannah Smiles on PFE
Review: I bought this movie because I loved it as a kid and now have 4 girls, I read that the Pacific video was awful, it was certainly not DVD quality but it was like a good VHS video and the sound was kind of low thank Goodness for Bose.... All in all I still cried at the end and I would recommend this video to anyone with a heart....

Summary: Outstanding movie
Review: This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. After receiving my copy, my wife and I set down and watched the entire video. The movie was everything I'd remembered. It's a perfect family video with a heart touching story. For everyone that keeps complaining that there are no suitable family movies available for watching with younger children, I would highly recommend this movie, no violence, no sex, no cursing, only good, down to earth, funny, family entertainment.
