If you are a fan of the original, just stay home and watch that instead.

Loved this and cried a little bit... the girl that plays Beth is a beautiful actress and Jo was great. I would see it again in a heartbeat!!

Not a ringing endorsement, but as faith-based dramas go, this isn’t angry and isn’t an over-reach. Its virtues are the same as ever, even if its dramatic shortcomings only grow with time.

First-time feature director Clare Niederpruem gives it her very earnest all, but falls short both on continuity issues (a smoldering curling iron, for example, is dropped to the floor and immediately forgotten) and on making her gradually aging cast match up.

Happy anniversary, Little Women, but I think I prefer you back in the 19th century; dreamy professors aside.
