| User ReviewCaysie BI saw this movie back in like the third grade and it always been part of my collection since |
| User ReviewIngrid WA simple yet beautiful love story. Glenn Close is great as always and Christopher Walken actually plays a normal guy. (It's worth seeing simply for that!) |
| User ReviewAshley HSarah, Plain and Tall was a pleasure to watch. It was a simple and just as it should've been. Sarah, almost a mail order bride, comes to live with widower and his two children on the prairie and her life is never the same. Story revolves around friendships formed, ideals changed and above all importance of family. No character is a sterotype they're realistic but are good human beings. Glenn Close and Christopher Walken bring many truths to their characters and chemistry between is real and heartfelt. A great movie to watch with the family. |
| User ReviewWesley JI love this movie when i first saw it when I was young. I guessed all of Sarah's aunts right the first time I saw it. I liked the choice of actors. Parents should watch this movie with their kids. |

| User ReviewAnna MWonderful movie and great acting. why can't they put this movie on DVD? |
