Pros: Great cinematography, solid story and acting...better than most "kids movies." Cons: A few scary scenes, another mother bites the dust.
It’s been a crazy movie watching week for Quinn. From Quentin Tarantino to Disney WWII propaganda…I needed something a little bit nicer. A little bit quieter. Warmer. To that end, I picked up “Fly Away Home,” a movie I heard a little about when it ...
Pros: Daniels. Characters. Family movie without going completely goofy. Cons: Paquin is not so good at points.
I will admit right at the beginning, that this movie is somewhat fluffish. It is, however, a pretty good story, and if you're going to take an often used plot (father and daughter thrust back together after many years and have to discover each other...
One of the hardest things in the world to find is usually the one we call 'family viewing'. It's rare to find the film of television show where both the adult and the child will watch, engaged or more importantly- engrossed.Fly Away Home ...
Director Carroll Ballard is known for his films that explore the relationship between man and nature. His first film, The Black Stallion (1979), was also his greatest commercial and critical success. But his career has continued nonetheless,...
Pros: family friendly film that adults can enjoy, good message, good family values Cons: a bit overly sentimental at times... why do mommy's have to die?

Pros: heartwarming, some great aerial filming Cons: not really true
Heartwarming story that children will love and most adults will enjoy. It is the dramatic tale of 13 year old Amy Alden (Oscar Winner Anna Paquin) who moves in with her estranged father (Jeff Daniels) and his girlfriend (Dana Delany) after her Mother...
Pros: uplifting, tender, realistic, and beautifully filmed Cons: none
As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I wanted to own it. I watched it literally dozens of times while I was pregnant with my first child. My father had just died of cancer, and it was healing and uplifting for me to watch this beautiful movie about a...
Pros: Beautiful Nature Photography, Endearing Story Line Cons: Everything goes a little too smoothly to be entirely realistic
This story begins with a tragic traffic accident that takes the life of the main character Amy's mother. She is sent to live on her father's farm in Canada. They have seen very little of each other since her parents divorced. Amy and her father's...
Pros: Sweet story of triumph and courage Cons: A quiet ride
The trailers actually urged me toward this simple drama of a girl, Amy, coming to terms with her mother's death, her own survival, and her wacky, inventive father with whom she must now habitate. Anna Paquin, an actress who always seemed to me to be...
Pros: Good story, accurate Cons: Not for everybody
Action movie fans, turn back, you won't much care for this movie. It's a dramatic story (with some comic relief) about a girl (Amy) who fills the emotional void in her life by caring for a group of birds that hatched near her father's house, who she...
Pros: wonderful movie for all ages Cons: no complaints!
Though this movie is a few years old, it left its mark upon me. I remember, as a younger girl, wishing I could fly like Amy, and wishing I could be the mother-figure to the geese. It is the kind of film that sweeps you away into a life so realistic,...
Pros: Sweet story that is good for all ages, great cast, strong message without being preachy Cons: Should have even more shots of the geese
I was reluctant to rent this movie. I hadn't heard much about it, and I was afraid it would be sappy at best and preachy at worst. Instead, it is an endearing tale of courage that can be enjoyed by anyone.
Pros: Enduring, fun and enjoyable! Cons: Very sad at the beginning.
My son saw this movie about 2 and half years ago, and everytime we went to the store he wanted only that movie. I finally broke down and bought it for him and my other children, and it has been a the best buy in movies. My children call it...
In the heartwarming tradition of The Indian In The Cupboard and based on a true story, the magical and soaring adventure of a 13-year old child who ad...More at HotMovieSale.com
