Little Women

My favorite character has always been Jo. However, the actress who played Jo in this rendition was so over the top dramatic she ruined the movie. Why didn't the director get her to dial it back? Instead of spirited and passionate this actress made her manic and mean spirited.

I finally figured out why Sarah Davenport and her depiction of Jo was so annoying - she was acting like one of the Disney animated princesses, facial expressions, body language and everything. Like a peeved Ariel, or Elsa, or all of them. Angry huffing little foot stompers. Ruined movie for me.

I loved the movie. It was very heart touching, warm, and a wonderful movie. I don't know how everyone else point of view on the story and stuff but I assure you it's not a waste of your time. And yes it's so underrated.

Well this is not the best version of Little Women ever put on the big screen but it is not as bad as some of the reviews are saying either. It is pretty basic and "contrived" as someone said but it is also a family movie and isn't trying to be very deep. I thought the acting was ok and the story was fine, I mean it is based on the classic. At the least I thought it was a nice idea at trying to modernize the old story. It just could have been better and more engaging.

Oh my gosh. I thought this movie would never end. I just could not make myself care about any of the characters in this movie except maybe the father of the girls. The character Jo was so irritating that I don't see how she could have ever made a friend, and certainly not with the professor. I would not want to spend more than five minutes with her. The movie's moving from past to present was hard to follow because with the exception of one character, the actors always looked the same age. I couldn't find any of the romantic match-ups believable, nor could I find the relationships among the sisters as touching as I was supposed to. Nothing about the story, the characters, or the relationships seemed authentic.
