I never have been one for period family films (Tim Burton and Jerry Bruckhimer are my role models), but I have to say, this film was very well done. It has this "Anne of Green Gables" thing to it. Most of the family pieces I have seen are very predictable, but this one wasn't. I found it to be a very cute movie and, assuming it is available on video, is something I plan on giving my Mom on her birthday or Mother's day.
