Rating: 2/10 -- I wanted to champion a sweet locally filmed movie and tell you all to hunt it down. Sadly I cannot. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- For devotees, the essence of the Little Women story remains, and, for newcomers, it is a sweet film that should inspire them to explore the book and the more traditional adaptations. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- A disappointing, 21st Century update that's behind instead of ahead of the times. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Not all of the plot adjustments work, but the production is cheerful and heartfelt, and for some reason it's always Christmas, so it wins points for sheer merriness. Full Review

Anyone appreciative of the novel or any one of its well-made adaptations will recognize the shallow hunk of junk this really is. Full Review

Rating: C- -- Most damning is that Niederpruem fails to engage with her central, powerful idea. Despite setting Little Women in modern times, the film is disinterested in using the new period to explore the bigger questions at the heart of Alcott's novel. Full Review
