Where the Heart Is

Pros: Warm and friendly, romantic, Ashley Judd
Cons: Possible, but not probable

Pros: Well-done plot; excellent acting; total tearjerker
Cons: None

Every so often I watch a movie that impacts me. Today I watched two of them, and one of them was Where the Heart Is. I was totally involved in the movie within a few minutes of it starting, and by the end I was sitting there on the couch torn...

Pros: It is "cliche-ridden" and "sappy" but it delivers the message
Cons: Some of the situations depicted are not suitable for young viewers

Son and his wife arrived the day before yesterday from Seattle. Daughter drove in to spend a couple of days with us. We were all together for the first time in almost 2 years. So we talked until the wee hours and then slept in late.

...

Pros: Tender story with just enough action to keep you watching.
Cons: Some parts of the movie drag a bit.

Imagine for a moment that you are a single 17 year old girl who becomes pregnant. Your boyfriend wants to take you from your home in Tennessee and go off to California, where he plans to make it big as a songwriter and singer.

You go along,...

Pros: Natalie Portman, Stockard Channing
Cons: Full of cliches

I hope Natalie Portman doesn't have to settle for films like "Where The Heart Is" in between her work on the "Star Wars" films. I've very much enjoyed her work since I first saw her in "The Professional" several years ago....

Pros: Great story, loveable characters (except for Willy J)
Cons: none

The Story Willie J. and Novalee are a couple from Oklahoma; they are leaving via car on their way to California to start a new life. Novalee is pregnant with their child, and she is about seven months along now. When Novalee removed her shoes ...

Pros: Strong performances by some of the actresses.
Cons: It is a bunch of bull.

Let’s just say that you set out to make a movie about the struggles and heartaches which todays women go through. You have a story about strong women and a cast of great actresses to boot. Then say you throw in some humor and tears. What do you expect to...

Pros: Some Wal-Mart bashing, and that's just fine.
Cons: Silly script, horrible plot and fake Southern accents.

I tried to think of a witty and clever title, but I'm not in the mood right now. After being forced to watch this piece of trash, I'm just plain mad. I know I'll get some rotten ratings for my panning of this film, but I don't care. This thing is...

Pros: Great story, funny.
Cons: Almost sad to the brink... luckily it doesn't cross the line.

Pros: Good acting, good script, good photography.
Cons: It's fluffy.

Okay, I have to admit it. My movie collection is in two parts. The main part, which is proudly displayed, contains “quality” films… Gone with the Wind, Schindler’s List and other AFI Top 100 Films’ offerings. Then there is a closet...

Pros: Decent cast, Portman acted well
Cons: Weak parts of plot, basic chick flick

I saw the new release Where the Heart Is tonight, not because of my personal interest, but because my girlfriend wanted to see it. After the last 2 shows we saw were Gladiator and U-571, I was willing to put up with a chick...

Pros: This is a fantastic movie that will make you laugh, make you cry, make you want to cheer, and make you want to beat the mess out of a few dead beat guys!
Cons: I loved the whole thing!

I cannot believe that it has taken me an entire week to write an epinion on this movie. It was one of the best movies I have seen in quite awhile!

Pros: Great Cast
Cons: None

Did you ever watch a movie where you could see yourself as the lead character? Yeah that is right I always wanted to be Cindy Crawford in Pretty Women. Not necessarily the hooker part, but darn that girl got it all and Richard Gere(hahahaha). Anyways in...

Pros: A deeply moving story of triumph over adversity
Cons: Are there really people this wonderful on this planet? Yes? Where are they?

In her book, "Where the Heart Is," Oklahoma author Billie Letts carved out a story as warm and rich as the fertile soil of the Sooner State she writes about. The movie version of "Where the Heart Is" is as faithful a screen adaptation...

Pros: Good story, a good movie for teens, inspiring and motivating.
Cons: A bit sappy, a bit melodramatic, too much about Wal Mart

And the only thing worth living for, is the good. True words for anyone to live by, yet how often do we even think about it????

Last night I watched a movie with my daughter, Where the heart is, starring Natalie Portman,...
