This is a TV film based on the book Ballet Shoes. It is about three adopted girls just after the First World War who all have different ambitions for the future. This may come as a shocking statement to some, but I think this deserved to be in the cinemas just as much as Spiderman 3, Enchanted and that sort of thing. I like those films as well of course, but this is really something. I like this for the brilliant acting from Emma Watson etc, the similarity to the Noel Streatfield book, a lot of the humour and the end of the story, it is one of my favourite parts of the film. It may miss bits out from the book, but those bits are the unnecessary parts and the parts left in are well-chosen. I cannot properly explain how and why I like this (the previous part of the paragraph was not totally what I meant), but I just recommend it to anyone who likes the book and people who like Emma Watson. At the very beginning of the film, a young girl with no surviving relatives other than her uncle, goes to live with him in his huge house of fossils. Her life becomes happier, but it soon turns out to be hard work again when on his travels around the world, the uncle sends her three baby girls. These girls grow up to have bright personalities and mixed interests and talents. Enjoy "Ballet Shoes"! :-)

If I'm honest, I really only wanted to watch Ballet Shoes because Emma Watson was starring in it. However, I soon came to realise that there were many many other reasons to watch it. All performances were outstanding, the three young leads especially. Emma Watson was much more suited to this part than that of Hermione Granger (whom she plays in the Harry Potter films). She showed real emotion and depth as an actress. Yasmine Paige and Lucy Boynton were also wonderful, though I would have liked to have seen more of both. I would definitely recommend this to anybody, and really cannot think of a bad word to say about it. Really spectacular. 9/10

It is obvious that this film was made for a younger audience, and as such it is a perfectly good film with a good story and interesting characters that were well acted. Although not being in the targeted age group I enjoyed the film very much too, and it reminded me of the sort of children's drama I enjoyed as a child, it has an innocence and charm which unfortunately could be lost on a modern audience. It was good to see Emma Watson in a film other than the Potter films and I feel it is certain that her career as an actress will give her great success for decades to come. I always find that Emilia Fox gives a credible performance and with the inclusion of Richard Griffiths ,Marc Warren, Lucy Coho and Victoria Wood I would recommend this film to all.

This film was good but in no way brilliant. It told the story of three young teenage girls who were for some reason abandoned and picked up by one kind man, a paleontologist (plays uncle Vernon in HP) who then takes them to his house where his keeper and another lady he rescued and raised. Over the years he goes missing and this is where the story begins of the three girls discovering who they are and the various obstacles they have to overcome in order to be what they want to be. GOOD POINTS -The acting, at first i was annoyed by it and slightly wary of Emma Watson out of context but i warmed up to each character and Emma did a pretty good job too. The story sets of quite quickly, so interest isn't lost in each character. The story, its a nice quaint story that is well set in the 1920-30's England. BAD POINTS - Mainly the story as well. At times i did think this all fitted too well together and too many things were too coincidental and fast paced- which i suppose it has to be as its a television film, but anyway it did take away the enjoyment a tad. - Also they way time is conveyed too obviously which really didn't fit in with the rest of the gentle nice storyline e.g. The flashes of newspaper headlines and nearer the beginning the bold letters all in one go indicating that about 10 years have gone by. Maybe I'm being too picky but it just didn't fit. Overall this was a nice treat and the BBC do make some really good films, for boxing day it was a good piece of Christmas television to distract you from the hectic family at Christmas! 7/10

Films like that are a masterpiece,i love Emma Watson and her screen play,i think she is a good actress,also plot,screenplay,scenery WHAT A MOVIE!!! Only " Catwoman" i better than Ballet Shoes.

I love this type of movies! If you not don't watch this movie! It will be a waste of time for you. Amazing,really amazing

I swear to god, this is meant to be a family film but we see babies in bags,not buggies or even baby appropriate to carry the child! Seriously I am god smacked and extremely annoyed that they let this be filmed, this is considered child abuse! Also, the acting wasn't the best at all. It may not have been a Hollywood sort movie but they should've at least given this movie a bit of a kick! It just looks so depressing and fake, it doesn't give you enough enlightenment to know that's it's a good movie! Emma Watson and Richard Griffiths(RIP) shouldn't have gotten involved in the film, it would probably be better off if they just stuck with Harry Potter that time. I wouldn't recommend this to kids especially the younger ones!

By giving Sylvia a romance by way of deleting Mrs Simpson from the story, this 'Ballet Shoes' is not really that true to the original book. However, in the casting of the three girls (Emma Watson, Yasmin Paige, Lucy Boynton), and scaling up their ages accordingly, it proves a success. With Theo Dane bringing a hint of the 20s flapper to the heart of London, and Eileen Atkins' starched Madame wishing for former glories, it manages to give some poise and heart to the world of the theatre, while retaining some fun and cynicism through Victoria Wood's Nana. Looking great and an absorbing treat for all the family, 'Ballet Shoes' is a real Christmas coup and success for the BBC.

Yes, I wanted to watch this movie because of Emma Watson. She is a few month older than I am and I've liked Harry Potter since the first movie came out. Well... Now I'm 17 and I'm not really interested in Harry Potter anymore, but I'll still watch the other movies after they come out. I've never red "Ballet Shoes" nor heard of Noel Streatfeild. I am not from the UK so don't judge me for that. After watching this movie, I'm going to see if I can find this novel, the movie was really interesting. At first, I thought Emma is horrible and she has so little screen time and I expected so much more... but after the first 20 minutes, I was thrilled with the story and I completely forgot I was watching it for Emma's performance. I almost forgot it was Emma at all. She did a good job acting, she really got out of Hermione, considering this is her first role apart from Harry Potter. I am sure she will be even better in the future, if she will be playing different characters. The rest of the cast was good, also, I really liked Emilia Fox and I've never seen anything with her before. The director did a really good job and the costumes were wonderful. The feelings the movie sent me were also powerful, I've never shed a tear during a movie in years....
