Movie Review: Simple Twist of Fate- Possibly Steve Martin's Best Movie Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Steve Martin is primarily known for comedy, but in this heartwarming and heart-wrenching film he shows great ability in a serious role. Martin stars as a man who is recently divorced after his wife had an affair and got pregnant. 5 years later as a carpenter, he has all of his gold coins stolen by a local politician's drug/alcohol crazed brother. But the local politican (Gabriel Byrne) has skeletons in his closet too..as he is hiding the illegitimate birth of a girl child to a heroin addicted woman. The woman dies outside Martin's home in the midst of a snowstorm, and the little girl wanders inside Martin's home and scares the heck out of him..in his own words "She came to replace my money" Maureen O'Hara costars.
A fantastic film which got very little credit. My daughter loved it! You will too!
Movie Review: A movie good for all ages!

I used to watch this movie as a young child and hadn't seen it in years. Then one day rediscovered it and was amazed to find that I still enjoy it just as much today. I am now a teenager, but everytime I watch or remember this ageless classic story it warms my heart. Steve Martin does a fabulous job in this movie along with all the other characters. This is a priceless story about finding love and family that is good for everyone in the family. I enjoyed it as a child, still enjoy it as a teenager, and am sure that I will continue to enjoy it for the rest of my life.Movie Review: Heartwarming Movie

This is a great heartwarming movie. I think that Steve Martin is a great actor, and his role in this movie showed that he can play serious, as well as comedy roles. I feel that Steve Martin was the only "real father," in the movie...not the politician who only cared about himself, and only wanted to look impressive in society. And the politician's wife was even worse. I don't want to give away too much information about the movie, but I guarantee that it is well worth buying, and if you sit down and watch the movie from beginning to end, you will enjoy it.Movie Review: I absolutely ADORE this movie!

I'm thrilled this movie is finally going to be available on DVD! Steve Martin is magnificent in this story that he wrote that so closely follows the plot of Silas Marner it's amazing! I had to read the book after seeing the movie and was so surprised! That the story from that book could hold up to contemporizing is amazing. The music is wonderful and I loved hearing Steve Martin play "Red is the Rose" on his banjo. I even found the soundtrack second hand. Fans of Steve Martin in a dramatic role will not be disappointed!Movie Review: I ADORE this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
A little gem of a movie. Not sure why some reviewers thought the start of the movie was slow - it explained his present day personality. Steve Martin is just superb in this - a very subtle, layered performance. It's one of those movies that stays with you long after you watched it. Wish he did more of these types of movies.
