Movie Review: Follow The Stars Home
Summary: 4 Stars
A great movie, but not a Christmas movie - don't know how it got labelled that! Great acting and a good storyline. Enjoyed it.Movie Review: Uplifting, heartwarming
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this movie as a gift and will definitely watch it a couple of times. I just wish the romance between the brother-in-law and Dianne had been a little more apparent on her side during the film. Really, she seemed to almost dislike him at times, and never seemed to appreciate him the way she should have. The tension is there, but it just doesn't feel romantic on her part until the last fifteen minutes or so. Anyway, I agree with all the positive comments from the other viewers.Movie Review: Follow The Stars Home

The movie was ok. I just felt that it was too short to have too much going on.Movie Review: The film is okay
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read the book and seen the film, and they are just okay. Kimberly Williams indeed is devoted to her severely disabled child, if a little unrealistically. NEVER a snarky, exhausted, angry moment from either her or her mother, not even one, and never a hair out of place either. In direct contrast to "good mom" is "bad mom," Amy's mother. While Alexa Vega does shine here, she is indeed a very good young actress, Amy's story makes my blood boil. Yes, her mother is a depressed, grieving widow but also completely emotionally neglecting her young daughter and the one who brought Buddy into the house even though she knows he mistreats Amy. Buddy was a bit sanitized in the film, as in the book he beats the puppy and Amy badly and then takes them to the bridge, where he throws the puppy off. Amy jumps off both to save the puppy and to escape Buddy, who is about to rape her. In book and film Buddy has endangered her child's life, yet all Amy's mother has to do is go to rehab, no legal consequences whatsoever, and all is well. I thought the scene between Dianne and Amy's mother ludicrous, when she was attempting to justify her behavior by saying, " I drink to be able to sleep." I wanted Dianne to stop looking sympathetically at her and tell her firmly that it was time for her to wake UP, that her boyfriend nearly killed her daughter.
I feel this "permissible amnesia" sends a bad message, that no matter what you do or let someone else do to your child, to the point of murder, all that is necessary is to go to rehab, have every right to demand your child back, and supposedly live happily ever after.
