| User ReviewPrivate UI grew up watching this movie and I really liked the entire scenario...It's a little old, but it was good and clean, and I liked how Grandma was baking the cake the entire movie!!! |
| User ReviewFreSh PI love dis show but it dont even come on kno more |
| User ReviewKelly EI love this movie. It is also one of my favorites. I love how these siblings do anything to stay together. |
| User ReviewKathy PI learned so much from this epic film. Bravo! |
| User ReviewMatthew MI remember seeing this as a kid and enjoying it. So I finally found out what the title was by just scanning through salvation army and recognizing that the movie was in fact the one I remember watching as a kid. Refreshing my memory and figuring out why I liked it as a kid was fun. The nostalgic factor really helped me enjoy the picture but it was a fun and entertaining story. Glad I relived my childhood memories of the film. Also I enjoyed the soundtrack. The songs sung were frickin awesome. The movie I had was edited so I am kind of interested to see what they really see and if I can get myself on an unedited version. |
| User ReviewLiz M"Hold on (hold on) we're on our own...we can make it together..." Grew up on this movie, its old, but good:) It's amazing how the oldest boy in this movie got the hang of driving a stick shift SO fast....just plain ol' amazing... |
| User ReviewMatt HFollowing the death of their mom, four children take a road trip to search for their uncle and avoid foster care. |
| User ReviewJohn NI cherish many fond memories from numerous viewings of this nice little movie about a group of siblings trying to survive an oppressive, uncaring world. |
| User ReviewAshleigh SI remember watching this when I was a kid. The older sister's really annoying, and it would have been better without the old lady narrating every 10 minutes. |
| User ReviewJonathan PRemeber seeing this as a second grader for a field trip to the movie theaters and then last night saw that my mom had it and decided to re-watch it. (In second grade I was so bored out of my mind watching this and the fact that the film melted twice while we were watching it didn't help any.) So the new conclusion...crappy acting, annoying repeated Osmond song throughout the entire movie, cheesy storyline, made for a movie that had a happy ending albeit very very predictable one. Don't think this one will be watched again by myself. |
