Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Ociee Nash
Movie Review: Likeable movie set during the 1890s in the rural South.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pleasant movie about a young spirited girl from Mississippi who is sent to her prim and proper Aunt's house in Charlotte, North Carolina, to learn how to "be a lady." She meets delightful characters along the way and maintains her spirit throughout the movie. I thought the ending was especially nice with the family all coming together. It is a very nice and pleasant film. It is just very likeable all around. Perfect for family viewing. Movie Review: Disregard the negative reviews!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am thoroughly disappointed with the negative reviews on this page. This world STARVES for clean, family-oriented entertainment and when some is produced, they receive reviews such as those. I watched this movie with my kids and they LOVE it! As long as there are producers willing to make good, clean movies for families, my family and I will continue to support them and we will try to persuade others to do the same. If we do not support this sort of thing, regardless of the quality of acting, Hollywood will win with the smut and filth that is rampant right now before us. We must not allow that to happen.Movie Review: Extremely disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Being more of a traditional family, the cleaness of the movie was important to me, and that was one of the primary reasons for me choosing this family movie. As far as the content goes, I didn't find much to have issue with although there were a few things that I didn't care for too much that were minor (such as the kids being obnoxious with chewing with their mouths open, throwing rocks and getting into general kid trouble, repeatedly disobeying and not getting much as far as consequence goes other than a little talk, girls being really mean to one another and hitting and rolling around on the ground, children running away with an attitude and kicking things when their parents have made decisions for them that they don't like, adults in the film acting primarly like children, etc...). However, alot was also good about it, like showing the reasons why these things were bad, teaching some good manners, etc... it's just that I would rather the main character be generally exemplary in behaviour while making a few mistakes, rather than simply doing what she wants to do and getting little talks with some pretty serious stuff, which obviously don't help her as you can see by her going and doing more of the same. Granted, her forwardness and bravery DOES shine through in helping out her fellow man in life saving ways a time or two, but overall I did not care for the main character's morals.
But all that is secondary, and like I said, minor. The thing that I could absolutely NOT stand about the movie was the cheesiness of it. The opening scene I noticed that Ociee was not acting well, she was ACTING as if she KNEW the camera was filming her, and the bulk of the acting in the film continued along these lines, just extremely poorly done. It didn't help that there were just so many ridiculous situations, that I just sat there and rolled my eyes, and overall I was just totally irritated with the entire film. In my opinion it is a very poor movie. And I LIKE to watch children's movie and am a huge fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, Toy Story and others along the same lines, but I cannot stand cheap, cheesy movies which are simply ridiculous. Yes, it's generally clean, and it has some good story lines, but that doesn't save it. If this is what I have to watch in order to have a fully "clean" movie, I would rather not!

Excellent movie!! I keep it here for the Family to enjoy....especially when the kids all come over! Movie Review: The Adventures of Ociee Nash

My daughter recieved this DVD as a gift. We live in Asheville, NC and have a grandmother named Josephine so it was very touching. We loved the movie, and plan to order several copies as gifts for other little girls. It's great to have a little girl as a hero who is attractive, yet not living the stereotype that girls have to be focused on their personal appearance rather than their spirit and integrity.
