Movie Reviews of Spencer's Mountain
Movie Review: Walton's Mountain's big momma.
Summary: 5 Stars
This wonderful family movie, filmed amid spectacular scenery, was based on a story which was the progenitor of Walton's Mountain. Warm, sometimes embarassingly sweet, it chronicles the lives of a family living among the Grand Tetons. Their challenges, their joys and their sorrows are all touched upon as Clay Boy, the oldest son in a large fanily, struggles to make a place for himself in the world. With stars like Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara at their family best, backed up with many other memorable character actors and actresses of a wide range of ages, they all add to the joy of this final product. A rare movie the entire family can enjoy. My favorite part: when Henry Fonda starts a fire in the old wood stove and Maureen O'Hara later takes out a huge pan of steaming biscuits as the entire clan prepares for a breakfast fit for a king (or queen).
I rate this charmer with 5 stars.
Movie Review: When family entertainment was heart felt.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is still one of my old time favorites. Great acting, breaktaking landscapes, wonderful music score and a moral message that we in this new century will never see the likes of again. This is pure entertainment from beginning to end. The struggles of growing up, first love kiss, a father's love for his wife and kids (rare these days)and the togetherness of the American family that no longer exist. If you need an education or weather you just want to watch a great older film this is the one for you and it is suitable for all ages which even the "G" rated films of today are questionable. You won't go wrong. You'll laugh and you'll cry and say I remember it well.Movie Review: Outstanding Movie...Affirming for Large Families
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not often that I'm so fond of a movie that I begin giving it as a gift. SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN is that rare treat of a film that speaks to every generation: the fun of childhood, the angst of adolescence, the burdens of adulthood, and the goodbyes of the final years. Moreover, it is one of the only movies I've ever seen that truly celebrates family life, with all of its joys and trials. I especially recommend this film to large families, as they will be affirmed in their YES! to life.Movie Review: GREAT FAMILY MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
ONE OF THE GREAT FAMILY MOVIES. THOUGH THE WAY THE SPENSER'S LIVE IS NOT FOUND MUCH ANYMORE, THE SENSE OF FAMILY IN THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO EVERYONE WHO SEES IT. LOVE IS SHOWN IN MANY WAYS BY THE DIFFERENT FAMILY MEMBERS. HENRY FONDA AND MAUREEN OHARA MAKE YOU THINK THEY REALLY ARE MARRIED AND SHOW ALL THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE. THE EXTENDED FAMILY IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN THEIR NEEDED. AND THERE'S PLENTY OF LAUGHS IN BETWEEN.Movie Review: So much better than the Waltons
Summary: 5 Stars
OK.
There's nothing wrong with the Waltons. Sure they tended to get a little sappy. You could say the same for "Spencer's Mountain," but you'd be wrong.
Watching Henry Fonda and Maureen Ohara, you get the impression this is the family you wish you could have grown up in.
When grandma tells Clay-Boy "Aim for the stars," if you have dry eyes, it's because you either haven't paid attention or you don't have a heart.
This is a truly great movie.
