Movie Review: Not My Favorite Shirley Temple Movie
Summary: 2 Stars

I was dissapointed with this adaptation, as it lacked the spirit and philosophy of the original. Sara Crewe, as originally written, was a thoughtful girl who never was mean to others, even if they treated her badly. The Sara Crewe of this video dumps a bucket of coal on one of the students of the school when she is angered. I knew then that this Sara in no way resembled the Sara I had read about and loved as a child.

If you are a big Shirley Temple fan, you will probably like this movie anyway, but if you have ever loved the book, steer clear of this, as it does not do the book justice.

Movie Review: Not Bad
Summary: 3 Stars

Shirley Temple is adorable as always, and this film has some merits, but it is a poor adaptation of the novel. Too many liberties are taken with the plot--some things added, some things excluded, and still some more are altered in significant ways. If you like Shirley Temple or are interested in a classic, cute, "feel good" movie, then you will enjoy this. If you are interested in an accurate, or even valid, adaptation of the original novel, do look elsewhere.

Movie Review: Timeless Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one film I never tire of. I don't care if I'm in the minority, Shirley Temple is simply the greatest child actor that ever was! (Liz Taylor is second!) It's fun to watch, is funny and sometimes a bit sad, but has a happy ending.
