      Audience Member Nice Hallmark movie. A little slow... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the book... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member decent, for a halmark movie, this is the kid that playing Percy Jackson? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member When I started watching it I have to say it looked so dumb but it turned out to be a pretty good movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps sometimes, we forget, with our plush life and current definition of "poverty", what things were like for rural "working poor" even as recently as the 50's. Survival, even for a man who owned the land, took a different strength of character. Is it good, or is it regretful those times have passed? More money yes, but were better times up North in the auto plants? I suppose, but this is nostalgia, and not bad either. It was a good family movie, narrated like the Waltons, I kept waiting for "goodnight Luke-boy". Yah, Little House on the Prairie too, a bit more reality, but did other commenters really expect this to be as complete as the book, any book? Personally, I'm tired of hearing book-readers whine about "what they left out". Don't watch movies if you read the book. This is certainly wandering reminiscences, but that's another type of literature too, isn't it? Why does every story have to be going somewhere special? To me it's a pretty good coming of age movie and worth the hour and a half at least, and always a pleasure watching Scott Glenn, when he gets good parts. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member u can tell it was based on a book but not a whole lot happens in this...i mean it does but theres no climax or huge ending..it s a pretty simple story...very good acting esp with the young lead...also nice to see john grisham write something that was nt a courtroom drama.
