This is How Movies Should Be Made

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

American Girl dolls were a huge staple of my childhood; I collected seven historical dolls and still keep them on display in my room. I have drawers of outfits and accessories, and virtually my entire closet is full of furniture pieces for them. Cookbooks, games, and novels—and now, in the modern era, there are lots of movies to go along with the historical collection! In An American Girl Holiday, Samantha moves in with her grandmother and meets Nellie.If you know about the dolls, you know Samantha is the Victorian doll, whose story takes place at the turn of the century, and Nellie is her impoverished friend. AnneSophia Robb, in her debut film, gives a great performance as Samantha. She's a real doll come to life! Mia Farrow plays her grandmother, and it's easy to imagine her popping right out of the books' illustrations. Of all the American Girl movies, this one is my favorite. Felicity's film is a close second, but this one gives me an extra fuzzy feeling inside because it takes place during Christmas. Dig your dolls out from the attic—or take them down from display in your room—and watch this Christmas American Girl delight!

I loved this movie. It tugs at your heartstrings a la "Little House on the Prairie", but it also teaches young viewers a lot about the time in which Samantha lived -- and the social issues that the people of 1904 were confronting. My daughter and I have had several discussions prompted by this movie and it even amazes me how much things have changed in a century. Today's girls can hardly imagine children working in factories or women not being allowed to vote. Samantha, though privileged and isolated, admirably deals with her problems with courage and great sensitivity.The acting could be a little better and there is one factory scene that's a bit disturbing, but overall, it's definitely worth watching.

This is a great story of friendship and helping others. This story helps show how much little things count. People of every gender and age will love this family oriented video. The script is written well and there are great actors and actresses. This story really touches the hearts of everyone. The hard work and practicing really paid off in this marvelous video.There are great choices of plots and scenery. All and actresses actors always work well together. I think that is a big accomplishment. Usually there is at least one mess up in the movie by an actor or actress. that about sums up everything great about this movie(everything).All in all this is pretty much one of the best movies i have seen. But that is just me!!!

Spoiler Alert! The most horrible movie I ever saw! Annasophia is not the best actress to play Samantha. I could do better! Nellie's actress was just as horrible. Perfect, huh! Perfectly awful is more like it. Such a disappointment. They didn't even show the part when she goes to Piney Point, Grandmary's summer getaway. And what about Samatha's birthday party, huh, where's that?! I'm a true American Girl fan since I was 9 years old, I've read all the books, and the movie stinks. I was especially disappointed in Nellie's actress. Her acting was horrible, and she wasn't as serious as Nellie in the books. The way she smiled looked like Nellie was a dork. That made me angry, because Nellie is Irish, like me, and Irish don't smile like a dork. Horrible! Awful! Most disappointing movie ever! It will win no award, I'm sure. The only award it'll win will be the most awful movie of the millennium!
