One of my all time favorites.
Good movie but grossly overrated
Absolutely amazing
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
'Little Secrets' is one of those 'sweet' movies that appeals mostly to early teens. The story idea of a young secret keeper is quite amusing and the secret keeper's quest to adulthood is portrayed in an okay way (though very clichéd). Evan Rachel Wood is very pretty and her acting is also what contributes to the film's positive side. She's the reason why I watched it till the end instead of switching to something else (as mushy teen flicks of this decade do not hold much appeal to me). Vivica A. Fox delivers a restrained performance and Michael Angarano is alright. The rest of the cast are adequate. On the flip side, 'Little Secrets' is no classic and it will vanish into oblivion among other teen flicks releasing every year. The direction is okay as Treu stays focused on Emily's story but at the same time he introduces too many themes that are tackled in a very sugarcoated and half-baked manner. Overall, it's a decent flick with a good performance by a confident young actress.
I've just watched this movie as it was shown this afternoon on TV, and boy I was very surprised.There are so many movies in this kind of young-teen-family genre, but this is definitely one of the best. The underlying message of the movie was a basic 'don't keep secrets from your friends' in a very interesting way.Everything was very true to life (except for the dinosaur bones maybe!) -- for example, when Phillip's older brother had been drinking, and been in the car with a friend who was too drunk to drive. Although he was only fourteen, the fact is that fourteen year olds do do that sort of thing -- whether it's nice or not, or whether it's right or not.It was also good the way they had that massive twist towards the end, yet everything worked out very well in the end without being corny.This is the sort of movie that isn't ground-breaking cinema (and doesn't try to be) but still is quite an entertaining way to spend an hour and a half.
Sunday morning, all my friends went visiting their homes, no college, and a perpetual feeling of 'I'm-about-to-yawn-any-minute-now' creeping out at me. Needless to say, I was bored out of my skull when this movie came up on TV. It seemed like a cheesy movie, and I would have seen just about anything at that moment. (of course with the exception of Freddy Prince Junior movies, but then again, that just shows good sense) It did indeed seem like nothing more than idle time pass when I started off; a cute story about a teenager who protects her neighboring kids' secrets for a fee... simple little secrets like a broken vase... but somewhere along the line, the movie took shape to a surprisingly deeper story.It is a lovely tribute to friendship. It covers the bond between friends in a very neat way. It is a movie about trust, inspiration, and growing up. Most of the people played their part well. Evan Rachel Wood gave an particularly compelling performance.I loved the violin sequences. And the general musical undertone was well delivered. The kids' general problems were also cute. The central theme of a 'professional secret keeper' was an interesting combination of fairy tale and reality. Perhaps that was why I was surprised how great it finally turned out.It has its bad points, of course. *spoiler* Somewhere in the process of making this cute little story, they decided to put in romance as well. It was as if they felt COMPELLED to add in that piece. An obligatory addition. And they had to end the romance part on a positive note. It somehow doesn't fit in. Not by a long shot. I loved all other parts of the ending, but that bit felt too out of place *spoiler* All in all, I'd say you should give this a watch. You'll find out age doesn't matter. You're never too old to enjoy this movie. Like me, though, you may regard this as a children's movie at first, you may also be pleasantly moved. And if you're one of those people who feel just a tad bit reluctant to really yell out how much they actually loved it, don't worry. We can keep that little secret.
This charming movie made quite a first impression. I wasn't really expecting to watch the entire movie, but the simplicity of the story and the little by little complexity was intriguing!The acting was decent enough. Although if I see David Gallagher again, I'm going to throw up. What I didn't like about the movie was how the wrong person ended up with girl. Life is unfair, but atleast make lives in the movie pleasant to see!!!I was expecting Philip and Emily to hit it off, since their chemistry really clicked, but instead I got David Gallagher's irritating face. There was no connection whatsoever with David and Emily's character. They met on the elevator. Big deal. Philip and Emily's character developed and instead of them being together, the older brother gets the girl. Bad values. But enough about that.All in all, it was a fairly good and inspiring little movie. People who think that young people don't really have "real" problems to complain about should watch this film. This film reminds you who simple life could be while you're still young, and how complex everything could be with just little secrets.
