Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

randyf-4 i loved the movie i thought out of them all that Emily was the best actor. I loved the script too. i can't wait to find out what the next American girl movie is about. I like the personality between each actor. i like the special effects. i think that this is the best American movie ever. i haven't read all of the molly books but i can't wait to read them.i watched this movie with my family and everyone enjoyed it. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I hope that everyone else that sees it likes it like i do. I do agree with the rest of the comments that other people wrote. Over all i loved this movie and i think that everyone should watch it.

una-20 Due to having two daughters who are obsessive followers of the historical American girl dolls, I've read all the books and watched all the movies. I thought that the Samantha and the Felicity movies were exceptionally well done - true to the books and meaningful in presenting the time they represented for children. The same cannot be said for the Molly movie. This depressing and disjointed movie had little in common with the books and did little to illustrate the time period represented. The writing was just terrible - it made Molly look like a snotty, whining brat, had random cultural things dropped in just for effect(the jitterbug contest on the village green?), and was slow as molasses. I was truly dumbfounded at the poor quality of this film after the other two. Less focus on Molly being miserable and the constant deaths and more focus on the bravery and efforts of those on the homefront and what they were doing to assist the war effort and make due with what they had would have helped. More explanation was needed for children to understand - why would there be a scrap metal drive, or socks and blankets knitted, or rationing? None of it was explained, just dropped in the scenes in passing. The saccharin ending rang very false(I'm not saying what). That being said, the character of Emily and how her story was addressed was, I thought excellent and well handled. The acting was fine, if lacking in passion, but that was the problem with the film and script in general.

Ameliasmama2000 I watched this movie with my six year old daughter and my Mom. First let me say that this a good family movie...they seem to be rare today! We all enjoyed the story of Molly and her family set during WW II. It was a first glimpse of the WW II era for my first grade daughter. My Mom was in fourth grade when her father went off to serve in the war so she could really relate to the story and enjoyed it a great deal. At one point during the movie my mother remarked "this is quite a history lesson". The story is so interesting that most kids won't even realize that they are learning as well as being entertained.This a a must see for everyone, not just American Girl Fans. A very interesting history lesson!

BigSis22 My grandmother and I get together whenever a new American Girl movie debuts. We enjoyed Felicity: An American Girl Adventure, very much as well, as my Aunt lives in Williamsburg, Virginia. This movie was wonderfully similar to all six books in the Molly Collection,and even though I have read them all, I still could not move because every scene had touching moments, It displayed what life would have been like back in WW2 for all of the Children and Adults that watched it together. I absolutely recommend watching it with the people you love most at Christmastime or any Holiday for that matter. It is a very touching movie in many ways.
