Rating: 1.5/4 -- There's a fair amount of greening, but that doesn't make Whitney any less grating. Full Review
New York Post
Nov 11, 2011
Helmer Odiorne creates a suitably groomed pastoral setting for Gilchriest's relentlessly upbeat script, but does little to suggest a context larger than Whitney's limited p.o.v. Full Review
Variety
Nov 10, 2011
Rating: 2/5 -- It flies off the rails in a third act so devoid of logic it could have been concocted on the moon. Full Review
Los Angeles Times
Nov 10, 2011
Rating: 1/5 -- An obnoxious and self-absorbed little girl tries to cope with a down-scaled life. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- By turns pleasant and preposterous, The Greening of Whitney Brown is a reverse Cinderella tale for tweens.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Nov 10, 2011
Rating: 1.5/5 -- As she learns the value of public schools and pickup trucks, her erstwhile friends in Philadelphia seem happy to be rid of her. By movie's end, you'll feel exactly the same.

Product Description:

A privileged urban teen struggles to learn an important life lesson after her family falls on hard times and move to her grandparents' farm in order to get back on their feet. Whitney Brown (Sammi Hanratti) was raised in the lap of luxury; her parents (Aidan Quinn and Brooke Shields) gave her everything a child could ever want. But when the economic climate takes a turn for the worst, the well-to-do family must find a new place to live. Initially dejected by the slow pace of rural life, Whitney starts to perk up after befriending a majestic Gypsy Vanner horse named Odd Job Bob on a ranch owned by cantankerous Dusty (Kris Kristofferson) -- whose connection to her family is stronger than she suspects. It isn't long before the change of scenery, the quality family time, and the idyllic days spent with her new equine friend allow Whitney the opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for nature and to understand the importance of occasionally stepping back to put your life in perspective.
