Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A Disappointing Continuation

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Portrait, eulogy, crumbs of Mary Poppins . and one of the most seductive films. about a so familiar universe than you feel be part from it. a special grandmother and her great science to be the perfect choice in a crisis moment. admirable performances, great atmosphere. and mixed humor with unique nostalgia.

I watched this as a kid who came from a single parent home, and I wished with all my heart that I could have an electric grandmother! I really love the end, where they are old and she comes back again to help. As my Moms care is continuing, I find myself still wishing for the electric grandmother all over again! How nice it is to know that my own real grandmother treasured what we told her and always had time for us. And maybe the point is that as we age, we do see our grandparents again, so maybe they really do come back and look out for us! I love that thought and can only imagine that Ms Maureen was fantastic to work with - and probably a hoot too. She didn't look very led to me in the film when I watched it again. Love this little film!

Like most Ray Bradbury adaptations (Something Wicked This Way Comes), this story isn't perfectly wrapped up in a bow, but it is memorable and the performances are worth watching.I have always been fascinated with this film, mainly because of the visuals and the tender performances by Maureen Stapleton and Edward Herrmann.Sure it's flawed, and some folks may be creeped out by the subject matter, but I guess I just didn't see it that way. Sometimes children get tired of the same, fluffy, perfect kiddie fare, and this one fits the bill, for a story with a few dark tinges around the edge.

This is a personal vote because I am somehow able to watch this movie and become emotional every time. I was emotional before my own grandmother died and now that she is gone this movie will remain in my heart forever. Plus I love the lullaby that is sung during the movie. When I read the book I really didn't know what to expect and what I got was identical to the movie except for the music. That made it even better. Plus Agatha is such a doll. This movie is so old and I'm wondering if anyone will even read this because who in the world is going to look for a review about the electric grandmother? Who's going to be crazy enough to write one? And why am I writing all this nonsense? Well the rules say it has to be 10 lines at least and when I was done it was only like three so there. I read through the credits again and Evan Morris and John Morris are credited with the orchestrations. I don't know if that includes the lullaby or not. If anyone knows let me know. I'd be grateful. I only hope some day I can write a story that pulls at the heart strings as much as this one does for me.
