Movie Reviews of A Home of our Own
Movie Review: Great film, great performances.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually give this 4 1/2 stars. The reason I don't give it the full five is because 1) I saw no need for the foul language the writers incorporated into the script and to display the mother influencing it on her children.....(this could have been a super-clean family G-rated movie...with a better job of editing and a tighter, cleaner screenplay. We need more of this in our morally decadent society today. And 2), at the end.....I wanted to see the inside of the new house!!! It may be a silly, moot point and maybe it wasn't in the budget to create a set or film inside a new house with mom and the kids in awestricken wonder....thanking God for the blessings he gave to them after all they went through.
Nevertheless, it is still great film fare with great performances by everyone....(the kids in the cast tug at your heartstrings...especially the fine performance by Edward Furlong as Shayne.
Kathy Bates, as always, is right on target and the chemistry between her and the kids is great!
The DVD has no english subtitles, only French and Spanish which is unfortunate for the hearing impaired. Also included is the theatrical trailer. Except for the profanity, this is a great film of inspiration, determination and hope.
One question, though.....if it was a true story....why, at the end of the credits does we have: "The events and people portrayed in this photoplay are purely fictitious. Any resemblence to persons living or dead is purely coincdental." And if it is a true story, what and whom is it based on?
