luisa l me encanto mucho. es la mejor pelicula del mundo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review R D Really well done. Enjoyed it with my kids. Great family film with a heartwarming story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this because it was filmed in South Carolina where I grew up. (The same reason I watched Paradise w/ on Johnson). Some of the acting was unprofessional but otherwise a great family movie to watch with your kids. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Ignore the clunky screenplay and acute overacting, and you might like this family film. It's worth watching, especially for Paul Dooley and this young girl who plays his grandaughter. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this because it was filmed in South Carolina where I grew up. (The same reason I watched Paradise w/ on Johnson). Some of the acting was unprofessional but otherwise a great family movie to watch with your kids. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It was cute. Annie annoyed me in the beginning because she was so bratty...but in general her acting wasn't great. Lea Thompson's character was so uptight. She was hypocritical and didn't let Annie enjoy the same things she did when she was kid like boat riding. My favorite characters were between Kristen Renton and Paul Dooley. Dooley was definitely a better actor though. Good movie to pass the time with. But nothing I would spend money renting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
