Leave your thoughts about A Painted House.
| User ReviewJo YThis is a good story.I like Grisham's Books |
| User ReviewCassandra MPerhaps sometimes, we forget, with our plush life and current definition of "poverty", what things were like for rural "working poor" even as recently as the 50's. Survival, even for a man who owned the land, took a different strength of character. Is it good, or is it regretful those times have passed? More money yes, but were better times up North in the auto plants? I suppose, but this is nostalgia, and not bad either. It was a good family movie, narrated like the Waltons, I kept waiting for "goodnight Luke-boy". Yah, Little House on the Prairie too, a bit more reality, but did other commenters really expect this to be as complete as the book, any book? Personally, I'm tired of hearing book-readers whine about "what they left out". Don't watch movies if you read the book. This is certainly wandering reminiscences, but that's another type of literature too, isn't it? Why does every story have to be going somewhere special? To me it's a pretty good coming of age movie and worth the hour and a half at least, and always a pleasure watching Scott Glenn, when he gets good parts. |
| User ReviewMaKayla :When I started watching it I have to say it looked so dumb but it turned out to be a pretty good movie. |
| User ReviewLeann DRemember the character actor with nasty toothy grin from The Wild Bunch, El Topo and Three Amigos... that is Alfonso Arau who is also the director of not only this film but also several other fantastic films, including: Like Water For Chocolate and A Walk in the Clouds. He gets really good performances from his actors and in the case of A Painted House from the always enjoyable Scott Glenn (his silence shouts) as well as Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma) and Audrey Marie Anderson (The Unit). Sentimental as heck but a very enjoyable visit. |
| User ReviewMark FThe book is much better of course, but the movie is not that bad either. |
| User ReviewColin KI forgot I'd seen this movie until I read the book. |
| User ReviewLu Au can tell it was based on a book but not a whole lot happens in this...i mean it does but theres no climax or huge ending..it s a pretty simple story...very good acting esp with the young lead...also nice to see john grisham write something that was nt a courtroom drama. |
| User ReviewPrivate UDarn good adaptation of the book into a movie. Good glimpse into 1953 Arkansas Delta region. Thanks, Mr. Grisham! |
| User ReviewSteve WIt was ok, worth a watch if your really bored. |
| User Reviewrahul pSucked! I'm all about John Grisham, but this movie did nothing for me. |
