Rating: - Simplicity shines Brighter than Diamonds
When I first watched this movie, I was a little kid. It took me time to understand the movie but it made a big impression in my heart. I watched it again when I grew 18+ and it actually added another layer of respect for the writer of this film. "Sometimes wounds don't heal and one only need a miracle to heal them. Through this movie it is so clearly proven that one mustn't look for miracles or for answers, one must just look wide open that little wonders around can coach one, through their mere innocence. I have always admired Don Johnson's work and Melanie Griffith's work in all of their movies and to see them perform with such simplicity but so brilliantly; it touched my heart. Presently I live in India it costs me a lot to purchase through net but I purchased this movie only because I adored, admired, loved and immensely respected every character of this Movie and the effort of the writer... markrenfro@yahoo.ca

A simple, old-time movie about the simple life in a small town does not change the fact that grief and estrangement are universal and cannot be ignored as if they will tippy-toe away. Secrets gnaw from the inside out.
Ben and Lily (Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith) lost a young son two years earlier, so when Willard (Elijah Wood) arrives, he steps right into this scenario of estrangement and unresolved grief.
Ten-year-old Willard has come to visit because his pregnant mother wrestles with her own potential loss--Willard's father has run off with another woman--and she needs time to figure out what to do. Willard's father becomes a pivotal point later in the story. Willard is sent to Lily because she was his mother's best friend in their girlhood days.
A bright boy, Willard senses that things are not well in this house. He makes friends with Billie, the wild girl next-door, nine-years ... Read More
Rating: - Its a great movie
This is a "Collector" movie to buy and watch again and again when the mood strikes you. It is about "Life" which is never pretty all the time. It is about coming of age, it is about love (good and bad love). It is a movie that causes you to think about your own life and your own relationships. Its a great movie.

I watched this movie for the first time when i was 10 and i loved it. Contrary to what another reviewer said i disagree. This film may have had a few awkward moments in it but when i was 10 i was witness to swear words and if i didn't knock on my parents door nudity. i do think that this movied should be rated pg13 but many things now days aren't.
The plot was great. Johnson was a cold heartless man who hid his pain in anger and Griffith was a kind nurturing woman who hid it in the attic. I felt very much for the couple in the movie at age 10 and even more at 24.
The fact that Wood and Burch bonded and shared alot was not that much different from Culkin and Chlumsky's relataionship in My Girl. They were young curious opposite sex friends who were probably closer than most of the adults around them at the time.
I loved this movie and still do til this day. At age 10 i wanted to watch it all the ... Read More
