Movie Reviews of What Katy Did
Movie Review: Nothing like the book
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie version has completely butchered the book, doing away with the character of Clover completely for example. But even if you ignore the book and are looking for a good movie, this one is weak at best. The plot just meanders along without any memorable moments at all. None of the characters are compelling (unlike in the book), and unlike the Avonlea series or Anne of Green Gables, the ordinariness of everyday life is just plain boring in this film. Much of the blame lies in the film's refusal to explain who all the characters are and what their relationship to one another is. This can't be justified by saying that you'd know all this if you'd read the book in advance. As I said, they changed everything and even got rid of Clover!!! Some scenes feel like pure filler. There are also several cues that are not followed through. So Katy helps a homeless man, and he comes back twice to meet her. You expect that this will mean something later in the plot, but it doesn't. There are other details like this that are just weakly lifted fragments from the book.
Summary of What Katy Did
From the popular book series comes the story of Katy Carr, a headstrong and energetic thirteen year-old, growing up in the countryside at the turn of the century. With a feisty, rebellious streak, Katy is a real handful for her widowed father, Dr. Carr, and her stern aunt Illie, who share the responsibility of raising Katy and her siblings. The arrival of her worldly, invalid cousin Helen, exposes Katy to a world she never knew exister. When tragedy befalls Katy, she gains strength from Cousin Helen's wisdom and appetite for life, and overcomes her own misfortune.Similar DVD Movies
