4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent family movie,
By
This review is from: Saving Sarah Cain (DVD)
I enjoyed this movie and watched it with my husband and two children aged 12 and 10. It taught my kids about a different lifestyle and the troubles that children that are "different" have in schools. The acting was quite good as many of the actors were relatively unknown. It was sad at times but also uplifting.

Favorite Lewis book now a favorite movie! 5 Stars all the way!,
By K. Vogel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saving Sarah Cain (DVD)
I was hesitant to buy this movie since I love the book by Lewis and thought no one could make a film to do it justice. I also live in Western PA among Amish and know many well. I didn't think they could be portrayed right either. I was so wrong! Landon did an excellent job! I cried! This movie is so touching! The acting is EXCELLENT! The story of redemption shines through clearly. I have to buy this movie for many who feel like Sarah in the beginning...hurt by life and very hard toward God and others...this movie shows the way back home to God & family... We need more movies like this!

Very rough start but ends strong,
By J. SHARP - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saving Sarah Cain (DVD)
This adaptation of Beverly Lewis' novel The Redemption of Sarah Cain is another commendable addition to the oeuvre of telefilm producer/director Michael Landon, Jr. Taking great liberties with the plot of the novel, the picture turns the usual Witness-esque story of the 'English' trying to adapt to the life of the Amish on its head. It places the devout orphans of the protagonist's recently departed sister in the heart of a major city and explores the effect it has on their hearts and their family dynamic.The beginning of the film is worrisome due to extremely clunky dialogue that sounds like it was cobbled from a book of movie journalism cliches. All the editor (played with sorely-needed light humor by Elliott Gould of M*A*S*H and Ocean's 11 fame) needed was a cigar to chomp on and he'd be straight out of a comic strip. Fortunately, things improve dramatically once Sarah Cain starts interacting earnestly with her sister's children. Landon's skill at drawing convincing performances from kids is highlighted throughout the rest of the film and, by the end, YOU may want to adopt some of them! And leading lady Lisa Pepper (of Anthony Hopkins' indie film Slipstream) is frequently good and shows great potential for success. She's very easy on the eyes (it's part of the Hollywood equation, folks) and definitely plays well opposite children. My favorite part may be the flashback sequence at the end. I won't spoil it for you but it's very appropriate to the character and is beautiful, ethereal, evocative, and expertly photographed and edited. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Good to watch - then have family disussion,
By two girls with curls - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saving Sarah Cain (DVD)
Good FAMILY movie.It will be a reference point for family discussions about life, values, even death of a parent. Best of all, no part of this movie is not child friendly. It didn't "hold" my older girls attention....but I bet she will want to watch it again. I bought the book too and hope to start it soon. |
