What can I say about this movie...it was cute. I'm surprised Disney didn't make this movie. ***********CAUTION SPOILERS************************* If you've read all 6 of the Samantha books, you should know that they didn't exactly follow the series. Pretty much the story goes; Samantha's favorite Uncle Gard brings home his new bride, Cornelia. While that is going on, Samantha makes friends with the servant girl next door, Nellie. After Uncle Gard's wedding, he decides to take Samantha back to New York City with him to live. Weeks after the arrival, they get word that Nellie's father has died and she and her sister's are living in an orphanage. If you've read the books, you should know what happens next. The only part that wasn't in the movie, that was in the books were; Samantha's birthday and her camping trip. Of course, Cornelia's twin sister's weren't in the movie either. This is a really cute movie, I think it should have been rated "G", or perhaps "E" for everyone, instead of PG.

I got this movie on DVD last January 2004 & it is the most Wonderful movie for the whole family (even my mom like it). This movie is about a young girl name Samantha (AnnaSophia Robb) & she lives in NewYork 1904. Samantha help her friends to make a Christmas joy to everyone & try to love her grandmother name Grandmary (Mia Farrow) but first Samantha met a name name Nellie O'Malley (Kelsey Lewis) & help her to have a Christmas Wish that she want as well as helping herself too. This movie is the best film for the Holiday season & hope everyone like this movie too. I saw that they repeated on TV a few day before Christmas'2005 but it better that I watch it on DVD. I give this movie a 10/10 because it a great movie. If you like this movie, Than you will like "Felicity: An American Girl Adventure" & other American Girl movies.

Spoiler Alert! I watched this movie last night with my 6 year old daughter who is now getting into the American Girl dolls and books. I remember reading these stories back in the late 1980's from my local library. Never did I think there would be dolls and movies! The movie did follow the books very well. You didn't see Samantha's birthday party, or the time she went to the lake with her Grandmary. But it did follow the story. A few scenes were added in such as her going to the factory to look for Nellie. However, that did bring the realism in to the time when the story took place. The awful conditions factory workers had prior to OSHA and child labor laws. The movie did flow nicely and took a sad, dark turn when Samantha went to live with her Uncle Gard and her new aunt in New York. But it did end on a very sweet happy tone. Many of Samantha's costumes are now made for the dolls. Such has her blue coat towards the end of the movie, her striped dress, bridesmaid dress, Nellies purple pj's and so forth. So it did bring those outfits to life. I read in TV Guide that Julia Roberts did produce this movie and her production company has the rights to all the American Girl books. She said she wanted to bring sweet stories to TV that she remembered as a child. She did mention that many production companies were after these books and that Felicity is next. I am glad someone in Hollywood wants to make sweet good natured movies to the screen. And show young women what life was like before they were born. All in all this was a wonderful movie and they are reshowing it Thanksgiving night. Enjoy all! 10 out of a 10

I'm afraid the the average viewer probably won't be familiar with the American Girls line of dolls. Each one, in this case Samantha, has her own clothes, pet, and a biography in the form of a storybook. To attempt to make a movie of one of these dolls is doomed to limited results. I doubt the target audience of doll lovers/collectors and the young girls that enjoy them will be large enough to make more than a peep out of this film. It's the PG rating of ALL PG ratings. Expect nothing more than a simple tale of Samantha's favorite Uncle bringing home his new bride to be. Qualms and mistrust of her from Samantha are tepid in these times of "The Stepfather" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle." For fans of American Girls Dolls ONLY!!

I have never been a Samantha fan really. I loved Felicity (and soon liked Kit. My sister is a long time Samantha series fan though. We were both excited to get the American Girl catalog for Winter 2004 and opened it up to get an ad for the new Samantha movie. I marked it on my calender for November 23 and my sister put the DVD on her Christmas list. Little did we know that we would be a little disappointed. Samantha: An American Girl Holiday is about a girl named Samantha who be-friends three servant girls, after Samantha moves up to New York City with her Uncle Guard and his new bride Cornilia, she finds out that the three servant girl's father died and were sent off to an orphanage there in New York City! Soon Nellie (who is one of the servent girls she be-friends and becomes best friends with) tells Samantha that she might be sent on the orphan train to somewhere else, but without her two younger sisters! Samantha tries to help Nellie and her two sisters, but there would be consequences! One thing that bugged me was through 1 hour and 30 minutes, there was nothing related to Christmas! NOTHING! Zero-zip-zilch! 1 hour and 50 MINUTES into the movie and there was nothing about Christmas except the fact that they were starting to talk about Christmas. AnnaSophia Robb didn't do her best. She had her moments when she acted Samantha out really well, and then she had her moments...well most of the movie....when she did a horrible job acting out Samantha. Mia Farrow made Grandmary much sweeter and much younger. I did not stick with that fact. The movie was good, and it had its moments like when Nellie steals Eddie's money jar and on Sunday at church, Samantha dumps all of the money (coins) on the little offering tray. I could not bear the factory scene for what happened to the little boy happened to one of my mom's friends when she was little. As a result, my sister was disappointed. I asked her if she wanted to buy it on DVD and she said that she would have to watch it again on Thanksgiving and make up her mind then. Good film! And this is not for American Girl people (like me) only! It is not like some film where you have to read the books or watch the prequels to understand the movie. Anybody can watch it. It brings out the next generation of AG!

This movie was terrific! I am 13 and I have two American Girl dolls myself. I have read all of Samantha's books and I found the movie really good! Some scenes sounded like soap opera, and some of the acting was a little off, but otherwise it was great! It must have been really hard for Nellie and her sisters. I would have done the same thing if I were in Samantha's place! I don't know what some thought of this movie, but it was great for me! It was so cool and I LOVED the scenery. The Aunt Cornelia and Uncle Gard sounded so fake sometimes. It was kinda obvious. I can't wait to see the movie again! I was mad when commercial brakes came on because I wanted to watch it! But, it was good anyway!

The story about Samantha Parkington, a privileged girl, who lives with her grandmother played by the wonderful Mia Farrow in Mount Bedford, New York along the Hudson River in the Hudson River Valley about a couple of hours north of New York City. In the beginning, Samantha is playing with Eddie Ryland, her neighbor and nemesis who enjoys bullying people into giving him money. Samantha befriends Eddie's new maids, young sisters--Nellie, Bridget, and Jenny whose mother died. Their father moved them to the country. Instead of working in terrible factories, they work in the Ryland estate in the Hudson River Valley. While Nellie is working there, Samantha and her become close friends despite their obvious differences. When Samantha's Uncle Gardner comes home, he announces his engagement to Cornelia Pitt, a woman's right to vote activist, and he plans to bring Samantha to live with them in New York City. Wherever Samantha goes, adventure follows. I don't know how similar this is to the books but it's an okay film. The acting is okay. The child actors are wonderful in their roles. The film reminds of an old Shirley Temple movie. It's for a family audience!
