      Audience Member sweet charming family drama Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Frances H Warm, wonderful,nostalgic film that reminds one of To Kill A Mockingbird, but gentler. The lessons here are about the immorality of prejudice, and the true nature of courage set in a small southern town during WWII, good lessons for children. A great whole family film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/13 Full Review Audience Member Though the premise requires some suspension of disbelief, given the smoldering persona of Whalley's character, against the body of work that Flanery portrays, would have more fittingly entitled this wartime drama as" The League of Extraordinary Hetero-sexual Gentleman", its a feel good chick flick, that teasingly entertains, and ultimately delivers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member "Some people come into our lives and quickly go; some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same."......Nice. Sweet. Charming movie. Sean Patrick, and Alexa Vega (the little girl), absolutely stole this wonderful family drama. Dare I mention that Sean Patrick is a beautiful man to look at, also...:) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a good film. It's quite a deep film at times, as you feel for little Bug and her mother, not knowing if their father/husband is still alive or has died in the war. Sean Patrick Flanery's character brings a little joy back into their lives and makes them look forward in life. It's sad that when he leaves he doesn't say goodbye but Bug's father returning at the end was a nice surprise, alive and well and happy to be home again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member i always like low budget films. Sean Flanery, good acting Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
