Really Surprised!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Blistering performances.

I have seen this movie twice now, and think it is so touching and brilliant, it brings tears to my eyes every time. The closeness of Julia and Amy is beautiful, and I find myself crying at the screen at Amy's hardships, and at times, such as when Buddy takes Amy's dog, I can't watch because it's too painful. But that only goes to show how well acted it is.The performance shown by both Kimberley Williams and Amanda and Caitlin Fein is outstanding, as is Alexa's performance. The bond that develops between Amy and Dianne is also beautiful, and unforgettable.Seeing this has made me want to read the novel, and I would definitely recommend everyone saw this movie.

This film deals with the unusual subject of bringing up a severely disabled child. Although the plot does get a little convoluted, the film does convey a deeper pro-life message: all life, no matter how short, how precarious, how humble, is worthwhile. This message applies not only to the disabled child, but to the mother who cares for her constantly. The mother's sacrifice is not, as one character states, "six years wasted." Instead, the film tries to give some dignity to people society would like to forget. Unfortunately some of the subplots and flashback techniques can make the film hard to follow at times. I would definitely recommend this film for adolescents and adults-- the subject matter may be too intense for elementary-age viewers.

"Follow the Stars Home" has been added to the list of mu favorite movies. Follow the Stars Home is ABSOLUELY FANTASTIC!! I really didn't expect it to be at first...but as soon as I saw the first half hour, I just wanted to keep on watching.The cast is extremely good! Kimberly Williams portrayed Diane so well! I loved the storyline...Diane loving Mark, and Mark's brother David loving Diane. The ending was fabulous! (I thought anyways!)I guarantee you that "Follow the Stars Home" is a movie worth watching!

This is such an incredible movie. It really makes you grateful for what you have. The cast is incredible and Kimberly Williams plays the part of a grief-sticken, struggling Mother beautifully. Catch it if you can.
