Description

Winona Ryder (in an Oscar® nominated role) and Academy Award® winner Susan Sarandon (1995 Best Actress, Dead Man Walking) star in this "affectionate, superbly acted" (Los Angeles Times) family favorite. With her husband off at war, Marmee (Sarandon) is left alone to raise their four daughters, her Little Women. There is the spirited Jo (Ryder); conservative Meg (Trini Alvarado, Paulie); fragile Beth (Claire Danes, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet); and romantic Amy (played at different agesby Kristen Dunst, Wag the Dog and Samantha Mathis, Broken Arrow). As the years pass, the sisters share some of the most cherished and painful memories of self-discovery, as Marmee and Aunt March (Mary Wickes, The Man Who Came to Dinner) guide them through issues of independence, romance and virtue. Gabriel Byrne (End of Days), Eric Stoltz (TV's "Chicago Hope") and Christian Bale (The Portrait of a Lady) co-star in this "handcrafted valentine" (Newsweek) of a film.

It has taken me years to watch this because I didn’t think I would like it. I wish I would have seen it sooner. I loved it.

It couldn’t keep my interest. It was just too vapid and shallow.

This movie is very sweet. I love the sisters. Jo (Winona Ryder) is a great character and Laurie (Christian Bale) is very romantic and gentle. Very good movie for the holidays!

For the life of me, I can't understand how the critics love this movie so much.
No, let me rephrase that - I know why they like it, or pretend to: because it oozes political correctness.
But in my humble opinion, this is NO five-star fare. It's flat. It's modernistic. It's not true to the book - it's all fuzzy and soft and watered-down, viewing like a Hallmark movie, with only slightly better acting. But above all, the casting is really the worst.
Susan Sarandon as a supposedly "new-and-improved" feministic Marmee was basically just playing herself, lacking all the warmth and wisdom of the Marmee in the book. Gabriel Byrne as Professor Bhaer - wait, did I say he played Prof. Bhaer? Grizzled, un-handsome, quirky Prof. Bhaer of the book? Nope. Not even close.
The worst was Winona Ryder. They should have cast someone, ANYONE besides her as Jo . In fact, she and Claire Danes should have swapped roles. Claire Danes with her boyish rasp and plain looks, would have been much better suited to playing our favorite tomboy than petite, beautiful Ryder. Does no one else see this?? This has bothered me for ages - really, it's one of the worst casting jobs in movie history, and what makes it worse is everyone seeming to think Ryder is "perfect" as Jo. I just don't get it. Everyone who says that has either never read the book, or they're blindly devoted fans of Ryder.
I would love to see this story remade one more time, and correctly for once. I'd like to see a version where Jo's character is not overacted, Prof. Bhaer is actually age-appropriate (to the book), and Amy is not a despicable twit (which, thankfully, isn't how she's portrayed in this movie, but how everyone seems to view her nonetheless - totally off the mark!).

I have grown up watching this movie. All of my sisters and I would gather in the living room with pillows on the floor and a bowl of popcorn, anxiously waiting for the first lines of the movie to begin. It brought us all together and no matter how many times I watch it, I never grow tired of it. I highly reccoment this movie to everyone.

alright

I thought parts of this movie were outstanding, especially when they were all young. But as the movie went on and they all grew up I began to loose interest. I still watch it every month or two, but when I do I tend to skip the boring parts, especially the parts when jo is with the professor, I didn't find their relationship sweet at all. And I also thought the main character jo could be extremely annoying and frustrating. I liked both Christian Bale (you can't quite tell if his accent is english or american) and kirsten dunst.

best movie!!!

I absolutly LOVE this book and movie!! It's a wonderful story full of life, family, and love. Both the book and the movie have a great story. It's not like (for example) Twilight, which in my opinion is stupid! And Winona Rider portrays Jo beautifly!!! I don't think anyone could have done it better. All I have 2 say is BRAVO!!!!

I love this movie.

i first read this book when i was around ten years old and i adored it. normally when they turn a book into a movie it's awful and does not stay true to the plot at all. this, however, is a beautiful flim. the plot is true, the acting is superb, and it is simply an amazing movie. one of my all time favorites.

Great movie

This has become my absolute FAVORITE movie. I watch it whenever I get the chance, and I absolutely love all of the actors. Winona Ryder, in my opinion, is perfect as Jo, Kirsten Dunst has made Amy dramatic but loveable, and, well, let's not forget about Christian Bale's absolutely heartbreaking performance as the sweet, sensible, handsome, romantic Laurie. It was a great adaptation of the book, and really the only book to movie adaptation I have enjoyed (cough...*TWILIGHT*...cough) so, BUY IT!
P.S.-Laurie could totally beat Edward Cullen any day of the week!

I've read the book and have seen all the versions of the movies made from the book (and there have been many). I like them all, but this is by far the best adaptation of the novel as well as the best movie. Excellent cast, excellent movie, and outstanding musical score. Loved it.

Excellent, fun, and talent-filled!

I adore this verson of the movie- mostly because Christain Bale is in it, to be honest. I won't lecture on my opinion on the story line, but it's well written, the costumes are great, the actors are very well choosen, & it worth the money!
BUY IT!
PS: One of the main reasons to buy it is because Christain BALE is in it! I love that man!

This is a movie that you will want to watch over and over again!!! It made me laugh and cry... and I just plain enjoyed it. Christian Bale is WONDERFUL as Laurie and all of his parts were believable...unfortunately some parts of the movie were a bit melodramatic, but aside from those very few parts, it was a great movie!!!

Lovely

This is my absolutely all-time favorite movie. I fell in love with Christian Bale in this movie. I also discovered that I don't really care for Kirsten Dunst because of her playing Amy in the movie.

absolutely brilliant

when i bought this movie, i had never seen it or read the book. i just thought it would be good. AND IT WAS!!!!!! this is one of my favorite movies and since then I've read the book and this is one of the few times that I must say the movie was better. the acting is great. the sets are very realistic, and they actually talk like they did at the time! BUT if i were you i would buy this on dvd on amazon or something. thats what i did

Awesome!

some parts of this movie were good but then others were just boring. but i think its neat how all of these now well known movie stars { ex: wynonna rider, christian bale, kirsten dunst, claire danes} are in this movie and i like how you can see what they were like when they were younger.

ahmazing!
