Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
urbanpixie I didn't think this movie was very good at all. Basically they took a bunch of one-liners from various Shirley Temple movies, threw them together, and had Orr act like Shirley Temple acted on-screen. "Oh my goodness!" was said quite a number of times. If you are familiar with Shirley Temple movies, you will recognize several lines direct from her movies. The trouble is they have Orr saying these in Shirley's everyday life. In the end, what we get is a hodgepodge of re-created Shirley Temple movies, instead of any sort of real look into Shirley Temple's life. Save yourself the trouble and rent Shirley Temple movies, it's a lot better than watching Orr try and recreate Shirley's acting style.
Snzz999 Child Star was professionally done. The movie had so many memorable song and dance routines amazingly done by Ashley Rose Orr and Hinton Battle. The connection between Shirley and her mother (played by Connie Britton of Spin City) and Shirley and Bojangles felt real and loving. It is a family movie that can be enjoyed by young and old. My family loved the movie. Ashley is very talented. I look forward to seeing her in more movies. She makes the movie fun and she really Sparkles!
bradybunchfan This movie is one of my favorites! Ashley was awesome like what others say Ashley might not look like Shirley Temple but is her acting that really counts not because if she looks like her or anything like that. It was a movie that the whole family could watch and enjoy the acting and the story that goes behind it. I love Shirley Temple and all her movies but it was so awesome to see the real life behinde this child star!!
m_yellowboy Whats the point of this boring movie? I mean Shirley Temple had it so easy. What does she have to complain about anyway? ABC has been putting out some great movies like "Me and My Shadows: Life With Judy Garland" and "Anne Frank". Those two were great biographies of two people who really suffered. To me little Shirley seemed spoiled and annoying. It just wasted my Sunday night, which was my 18th birthday. Another reason i didn't enjoy this movie is because I am not a Shirley Temple fan at all, instead I am a big Judy Garland fan. Now Judy was a true star and at least she can act and sing a whole lot better than shirley. If you want to see a really good tv-movie about a star, watch "Me and My Shadows", not this pathetic excuse for a tv-movie.
