In a departure from L.M. Montgomery's book series, this third TV movie jumps ahead to World War I and puts Anne and her beloved Gilbert smack in the middle of it. Instead of marrying Gilbert after her teaching days--as she does in the books--Anne spends a disillusioning year with him in New York City, and then the couple quickly marries before the good doctor ships out to France. (In the book Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's sons go to war and her youngest daughter is separated from her sweetheart.) Impetuous as ever, Anne joins the Red Cross and crosses the pond to track down her husband when his letters are returned unread. What follows is an adventure that takes her through battle zones--where the bodies pile up faster than you can say Saving Private Ryan--and on to London with a half-orphaned baby, her best friend's injured husband, and a tangle of international intrigue. Fans of the 10-book series may balk at the divergences and the fact that very little time is spent on Prince Edward Island. But the book's unrestrained romanticism and unapologetic sentimentality remain intact, as well as the surviving cast of the prior two movies, most notably Megan Follows as Anne and Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert. This movie, produced in 2000, clocks in at 185 minutes and is suitable for ages 9 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 LOVE it! Wish there were more... December 8, 2009
T. L. Kline (Lancaster, PA)
I love all of the Anne of Green Gables movies! I was afraid this one would be different because it came out several years after the 1st 2 movies. It WAS different, because much of it takes place overseas during WWI, while Anne tried to find Gil, but I still loved it! I am so glad they used the same actors for all three movies!

I have always loved the Anne of Green Gables stories/movies. My niece also loved watching them and my movies will be given to her for her children (since I do not have any children).
 Fan Fiction with Anne Shirley October 2, 2009
Grammie (Springville, UT)
First I have to say that I am an Anne of Green Gables book fan. I've read all the books several times. We all know that movies WILL BE different from the book upon which it is based. But this movie is a version of fan fiction. Kevin Sullivan took the AoGG characters and wrote a whole different story from anything L M Montgomery has ever written!! There is no resemblance between this series (movie) and the sweet flavor of the first two AoGG series (movies) he produced. If you are not a book fan you may enjoy this movie... if not, don't waste your money and read the books again instead.
 What Were They Thinking?? September 6, 2009
Oldie Man (California)
I am also a guy who loved the first two movies. It was a real treat watching these masterpieces with my wife and children. And then this hideous third go round comes along and I have to agree with everyone else. What was Kevin Sullivan thinking? When David O. Selznick produced Gone With the Wind and Rebecca, he made the BOOKS! Why? Because people loved them and wanted to see these stories on film. Both went on to win best picture of the year. So Mr. Sullivan takes Anne out of Avonlea in this third installment and makes her a spy in Europe????? The endearing Anne in the first two movies is nowhere to be found in this embarrassing mess. She is so serious and not very likeable and the story????????????? So what if Selznick had taken Scarlett O'Hara and made her a mud wrestler? Or had the second wife in Rebecca become an opera star? Ridiculous? You bet. I rest my case.

On it's own, the movie is a very decent sort. However, it's quite disgusting the liberties Kevin Sullivan took with the storyline while pretending it was a continuation of the Anne of Green Gables story. I was very disappointed.
