So one night X number of years ago, before a kajillion different channels were available (on our one and only tv) my wife saw that this was being shown on PBS. Would I mind if she watched that, rather than the more testosterone-driven movie I was going to tune in on?
"No problem" sez I, as I planned to ignore it and do something else (because, of course, "Anne of Green Gables" sounded like the last thing I'd be interested in.) Long story short, it's so well-made that I ended up watching the whole thing with her. It's beautifully put together; well-written, great scenic locales, and the acting by the whole cast is out of this world--Ms. Follows, especially. Her performance should be given a place of honor among the great family-themed movies. If you like this genre, don't miss it.
