My Louisiana Sky

Summary: A cute family movie
Review: Although I have not seen this movie on the DVD format, I can say I saw it on VHS, and it's a clean wholesome family movie of a girl coming of age story in the south during the 50's. The story focuses on the family itself and the growing pains of a girl with no siblings.

(Taken from VHS cover....Based on the award winning book, "My Louisiana Sky" is a heartfelt portrait of one girl's emotional journey to a place she'd always dreamed of and the road back home.)

I rated it three stars cause I grew up with brothers, and there was little for me to relate to in this movie, Its a family kind of Hallmark film. I don't know if the movie has a rating, but its a definite G rating movie. Its kind of in the genre of "Old Yeller" by Disney.

Summary: This Movie Makes History Come Alive!
Review: I don't know where to begin but this movie is going to be a new classic for kids...move over Sounder, Anne of Green Gables, Treasure Island....I was entranced. The actors in the movie are fabulous... I found myself making comments aloud about their acting throughout the film. The themes are timeless and ones in which we can all relate. The costumes are wonderful...I was taken back in time and couldn't leave my TV to even get a drink and I studied every detail of the dresses, hair, shoes, and makeup. If you think history is boring, watch this movie...it all will change for you and you'll realize that we all aren't so different afterall.

Summary: Factual just like I remember it!
Review: I Love this movie and ordered a gift copy to my sister who still lives in a small Louisiana town. You probably have to be a Southernor to appreciate all the nuances in this movie. For instance, no one actually refers to Aunt Dora as a prostitute, but it is alluded to in text and body language, the Southern way. To be fully aware, keep on your toes and observe to catch all the implications. Remember, most folks did not have a big income, a car, and they were not merchandise junkies, yet. I lived during this time and I found this movie to be authentic and factual including the food bounty at this country home, the friendships of both races, the love of the outdoors. Enjoy!

Summary: Touching story that warms the heart!
Review: This is a great movie, especially if you have southern roots. So many movies that depict southern life can be hokey and not very accurate depictions.

While not all the accents are the greatest in this movie, the characterizations are top-notch. The depth of feeling and the attention to period detail are wonderful.

A warning...this is definitely a tear-jerker!
