 Better than Disney February 17, 2008
I purchased this DVD as a gift for my grandchildren. They loved it as much as I did.
I'm a Haley Mills fan and I usually prefer the original movie which I saw as a child. However, this version is far superior to the Disney Pollyanna. It is charming.
If you like "British flicks", you will like this version.
Best family movie of all times January 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I know many good family movies (Anne of Green Gables, The Waltons, Tinke, Heidi, The Secret Garden, Alan & Naomi, Whale Rider, Little House, etc.) But THIS "Pollyanna" either comes very close to the best of any of those or maybe even beats them. If a movie is so good that it can give you tears, then it is a good movie in my opinion. This "Pollyanna" was able to do this to me. And I am male and in my fifties. Those tears from this movie are not tears of sorrow or pain. No, they were tears of joy.
A treat for young and old October 20, 2007
This is the better version of the movie......look out Hayley Mills! Beautiful cinematography, acting and directing superb! Be sure to have a box of tissues nearby.

This movie should be seen more often by children and adults. It can help a lot in today full of stress environment. Adult can learn what they forgot about good attitude and manners. Children will be able to learn how to treat evryone properly.
Remake far surpasses the original February 24, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This film is a must-see and a wonderful treat for the whole family. My kids asked me to check it out from the library and after we watched it together as a whole family, I bought a copy from Amazon to add to our collection of family films. It's rare that a remake would outshine the original, but this one is in a class by itself and leaves the 1960 version in the dust. The casting and writing were superb; this film remains true to the book, which I appreciate. (I cannot tell you how annoying it is when filmmakers second-guess the classics and compromise the story in order to make it more "appealing.")
Amanda Burton did right by author Eleanor H. Porter in her interpretation of Aunt Polly. It would be so easy for an actress to make this a mere two-dimensional character, but Burton thoroughly masters this role. Georgina Terry is a wonderful Pollyanna. She is a relatively new to the film industry and she does have a few bad acting habits onscreen here and there that I noticed, but she was such a lovable Pollyanna that the shortcomings really don't matter.
As a mom I can wholly recommend this film to add to your family's home library. If you want your children to enjoy a film that embraces Christianity, upholds the sanctity of marriage, and tickles your eyes with sweet glimpses of English country living, then this DVD would probably be the best 18 bucks you've spent in a long time.
