CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

HotToastyRag The "troubled teen gets tough love" genre is a well-loved genre, ever since The Blackboard Jungle in 1955. I watch a lot of these movies, and Carolina is a pretty good one.The troubled teen in this one is actually an adult, but it's still the same type of movie. Julia Stiles, whose "too cool for school" attitude is perfectly plastered on her perpetually sourpuss face, is mad at her family because they're eccentric and she's trying to mature into a mainstream young woman. Her name is Carolina because everyone in her family is named after the state in which they were born, and she despises her name just as much as her eccentric relatives.If you've seen a lot of these movies, like I have, you pretty much know the formula. Carolina doesn't stray too far from the typical mold, but if you're in the mood for a little cheese in your movies and relatives who are too wacky to be realistic, give this one a whirl.

kim_smoak This was an unexpected romantic movie…that I think was suppose to be a romantic comedy. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong in the comedy part, but the movie itself was good. I was frustrated with Carolina's view of her family…and how she didn't see the man who loved her so much right in front of her. I mean...she had a HOT guy best friend who clearly had feelings for her...but she keep looking for love everywhere else. Her friend already accepted her weird family...and loved Carolina for who she was inside and out. He confessed his love to her, and she abandoned him for...what seemed like in the movie, years. Then, she finally comes to her senses, and tells him she can't live without him, but it seems like it's too late...until he unexpectedly showed up at her family thanksgiving dinner like he always does, and takes her back. Oh...romance...I love it.For daily movie reviews visit: kimsmoak.com now!

margrette_lin This movie leads us to see the true beauty inside human being whoever we missed everyday on the corner of street. It also gives us a little bit inside of the personality of the director. He does not like to judge people by their position, language or even the color of screen. I love the characteristics of Grandmother. Although she was not born in a rich and educational family, she had fate in her believes in God that every life is a gift. Her love is what we are missing and keep losing in our new generations. But this firm also raised a interested question, a debatable and arguable that acted by the grandmother. She shared her past romance with her granddaughters. She dated whoever he is (marry or not) whenever she needed. I always believe that there is a line for everyone to follow which is our mortal sense. Can we just go date a man without thinking his situation? Can we just not to worry about the consequence that will be taken by our children silently and normally that we finally realized we are setting a bad example for them? On the other hand, as the actor mentioned, live a little. That means life can be just that simple and easy. No need to setup a lots of rules to block us to enjoy everyday. But, without following the rules, we will not have a better view to examine ourselves what we are missing. It is difficult to maintain in the line but not be a prison of our mind. I've watched this movie over 20 times but not tired of it. It reminds me a lots and refreshes me the life style.

wrecked23 This was a great movie about a girl and her eccentric grandma and was truly touching still keeping in mind the comedy. I thought it was wonderful and a movie for everyone to see and enjoy. The characters were well developed and all had great personalities. It had something that you don't see in movies anymore and was truly a breath of fresh air.
