Movie Reviews of Savannah Smiles

Movie Review: OH Savannah Live On.
Summary: 5 Stars

This Film Savannah Smiles is a heartwarming and tender film i'm glad that it has finally found a home at anchor bay on dvd. i got a copy of this great film to see because i have'nt seen it in years and you know what i still get choked up at the end, darn it. Mark Miller wrote this wonderful story and played afie the hot tempered guy and Donovan Scott as the sweetheart the two together have great chemistry on screen as two misguided crooks trying to go straight, have a problem in doing so, a girl (runway ) has hidden herself their car they found out she has reward attached to save return. but in the film the crooks and little girl learn something from each other and that is love. i saw this film when it was in the theaters back in 82 as kid now as adult i still enjoy this film and the film hasn't aged much except for some of the clothing the joggers are wearing. Filmed in Utah you get to see the state's wonders. Thank you Anchor Bay For doing a wonderful job on restoring this film to clean print like it was filmed yesterday very nice.

Movie Review: Savannah Smiles
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this movie as a kid, so I recently purchased it for my own kids. It was a hit immediately. This movie is so sweet, not quite the man's movie, but more a chick flick. It's about a little rich girl who's father is running for a big position in society, and has really no time for family. He is also a very self centered man. Anyway, to make a long story short, Savannah runs away while playing at the park with her Aunt. She jumps into a car that's parked in the lot, but little does she know they are recently escaped cons. The movie is about these two men that discover Savannah in their car, and then when they find out she's rich, they decide that they want the reward money. Savannah has a wonderful time with these cons (everything we tell our kids not to do with strangers), and I won't tell you anymore, so if you want the movie you'll have to buy it yourself. It is a kid friendly movie, that has a good, tear jerking ending, kind of cheesy, but still it's a sweet movie. My kids watch it over and over.

Movie Review: A simple movie with a profoundly moving message
Summary: 5 Stars

Upfront, "Savannah Smiles" is a classic. It does not have a huge marketing machine behind it to tell us it is, though. It relies on a simple, humane story to put a huge lump in our throats and make us think about things like the many definitions of the term family.

Starring Bridgette Andersen, Mark Miller and Donovan Scott, it tells the story of a young runaway girl named Savannah Driscoll who unknowingly hides in the backseat of the stolen car of two escaped convicts. Alvie and Boots are very solidly played by Mark Miller and Donovan Scott as opposite sides of the same coin, with Miller's Alvie being the more hardened of the two. There is an entire family backstory for Alvie that heightens the realistic tone of the storytelling.

Also starring Barbara Stanger and Chris Robinson as Savannah's politically connected parents, and featuring Pat Morita and Peter Graves, "Savannah Smiles" is excellent.

Movie Review: A must have for any family DVD collection!
Summary: 5 Stars

Savannah Smiles came out when my second daughter was 6. We watched the movie throughout her childhood. I bought a copy of this delightful movie for my granddaughter who just turned 6 for her birthday.

I was delighted to see this released on DVD and hope a whole new generation of little girls and their parents will find and enjoy this movie.

Savannah Smiles is one of my favorite movies. The scene where Savannah tells the story of Brer Rabbit to Bootsie and Alvie is one of the sweetest scenes ever caught on tape.

The songs "Pretty Girl, and Savannah Smiles" should be tributes to a very talented and precious Bridgette Anderson who has left so many of us with so much joy through her acting in her much too short life.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants a wholesome movie that appeals to the whole family.

IF ONLY WE HAD MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS. I LIKE MICHAEL PARKS AND HIS MOTHER. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB OF SINGING GOSPEL SONGS TOGETHER. SAD THOUGH I HAVE THREW AWAY MOVIES MICHAEL PARKS HAS MADE BECAUSE THEY WERE SO VULGAR. THEN I HEARD MICHAEL PARKS TALKING ON A RADIO STATION IN 2008 HOW VULGAR THIS WORLD IS AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS BRINGING THE VULGAR TO THESE MOVIES HE MAKES, SO THIS IS ONE OF HIS MOVIES I WILL NOT THROW IN THE TRASH CAN. YOU CAN BUY THIS MOVIE AND NOT BE AFRAID FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO WATCH IT. WE NEED TO WATCH MORE MOVIES LIKE SAVANNAH SMILES INSTEAD OF THE GARBAGE WE WOULD NOT WANT OUR CHILDREN TO SEE. I AM MICHAEL PARKS'S AGE SO I WAS BROUGHT UP BY A GOSPEL SINGING MOTHER WHO I ALSO WOULD SING WITH. THIS IS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I SAID HEAR YOU CAN REACH ME AT ShrlCp@aol.com
