Well, Diana and I loved it! I let her stay up and watch the whole movie even though it was way past her bed time!
At the end, here were her comments (age 5-1/2)
Momma, I liked that movie better than Samantha.
Momma, do you think Nan was a little smart- alecky?
Momma, who were those black people at Grandpa's funeral?
Momma, can I have a dress like Felicity?
And a horse like Penny?
Ok, so since it was late, I told her we'd have to talk about all those questions tomorrow!
Overall, I really liked the movie, even more so than the Samantha movie. And I'm glad the movie mostly focused on Felicity and her family life and not so much on Elizabeth. The only thing I really thought was a little too syrupy-sweet was the Christmas dinner at the end with the Patriots/Loyalists all getting together. Was that in the books? I can't remember. Not sure that would have happened in the real days and for sure not to last after the war began.
Slightly disappointed that they didn't show the Noah's Ark set being played with and the naming of Baby Polly, but that part of the storyline was different from the book anyway.
Overall, A++++ from us!
Laurie
