Movie Reviews of Heidi
Movie Review: Heidi
Summary: 1 Stars
We have read the book to our children, and have all listened to it on audio cassette, and love the original story. We also understand that stories have to be changed somewhat to fit time formats, etc. However, the extent to which this movie has been adapted is beyond reason. The somewhat horrifying first scene is a complete Hollywood fabrication, which does nothing but detract from the overall story. Heidi's Grandfather is no longer the grumpy-on-the-outside, but loving-on-the-inside man of the book. Here he is just a mean old man, with no redeeming qualities at all. Heidi's initial life on the mountains, and her subsequent removal to the city are fairly close to the original story - again, except where the Grandfather is involved. However things really start to fall apart about half way through the second act. Pretty much all of the heart-warming third act of the book, where Heidi returns to the mountains she loves, has been lost to idiotic plot twists and ridiculous melodrama. Time after time, as this movie played, we looked at each other in astonishment, wondering what had happened to the story we know and love.Movie Review: Disappointing adaptation
Summary: 1 Stars
I've seen plenty of movies that stayed true to the spirit of the book, while condensing or omitting certain scenes/subplots. After all, a picture can be worth a thousand words and the photography in this film is great! This version of Heidi doesn't do that. It left me feeling frustrated and annoyed at the characters. Not at all the feeling I had as a kid after reading the book. Which is what I recommend: read the book instead.Movie Review: Still Haven't Recieved This Movie

I ordered this movie on May 31, and I still haven't received it. Is it ever going to come?
