Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

larson-elliot I caught this movie on TV and at first I thought it was a movie I had seen before but I soon realized it was a remake. I did not think it was as good as the original. The script has been rewritten for younger audiences and the characters were younger. In the original I think it starts off on her 18th birthday. Due to the younger characters they toned down the romantic plot to more of a teenage puppy love. Also they took out a lot of the quirkiness of the original character who was more of an adventurous tom boy that liked to pretend she was Huidini.If you like this movie I recommend watching the original.The original is "Samantha" (1992) IMDb# tt0102832

griz44 Little Secrets, 2001, PG, **+ out of **** Starring: Evan Rachel Wood, Michael Angarano, David Gallagher and Vivica A. Fox The plot: A 14-year old violinist charges her friends 50 cents for keeping her secrets.It is real that this film gave me 100% delight! Sure, it ran in 366 screens. That's 123 more than "Thirteen". The good thing is: Evan Rachel Wood (Once and Again) plays Emily Lindstrom. She plays the violin in the movie. She also tells secrets to kids and teens. I'm sure the best thing about "Little Secrets" is the reason Evan was the lead star at that. At an estimated $5 million, this film comments to kids about broken merchandise. If you are pleased about Evan Rachel Wood, this is one great indie that hits the spot. It is true that back in September 2003, Evan promoted the movie on WAM! at the tender age of 15! How nice! And one best thing about keeping secrets is: Express yourself with the kindness of strangers! I know one of the best things that keep me in the mood for is this: Evan doesn't play the violin in real life! And one more thing that really is a gem is: Disney Channel will be airing this movie!

movieking2003 That is so weird to me that the last two reviews are such negative ones. Evidently these are people who just don't know a good movie when they see one! To say it 'sucked' (can't you think of at least a better descriptive word?) shows me that these are just kids who are into the violent/fastpaced/rated R shows that kids watch these days.Anyway, all that aside. I rented Little Secrets and it was a wonderful family film, the acting was really great. Michael Angarano shines in this movie, he is such a great actor. Evan was wonderful and very believable, and David played a great subtle part. The kids in the movie were all very good in their own right, each one bringing a dimension to the movie. They were real kids, and they did an awesome job. I liked the story line, it had a great message, and I would recommend this movie to anyone young or old.

quincy-white I had never heard of this movie when I saw it in the video store, but I rented it on a fluke just because I'm a fan of Evan Rachel Wood. It turned out to be a fun and dramatic gem, cute without being too cute. It takes on a difficult challenge, making a kids movie adults can also enjoy, all without Shrek-style irony. The revelations in the end can be seen coming before they happen, but it is still enjoyable watching the arcs of all the characters, as well as the subtle lesson in truth. Recommended rental.
