Rating: - "Is it always gonna hurt like this?"
It's so hard to be fourteen, thinks Dani Trant; the closest she's been to falling in love is listening to Elvis on the record player and nobody seems to understand her anymore. It's not like when she was a kid and could tell her problems to the Man in the Moon and he'd solve them. Things change forever for Dani when a handsome boy moves in next door, she falls for him completely, but he has eyes for her sister.

Rating: - Much more than moonshine
This touching, gentle film marks Reese Witherspoon's impressive film debut. "The Man in the Moon" did not make the impact it should have done on the public, probably because it came out at the same time as "My Girl", which starred big names (Macaulay Culkin, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Ayckroyd). The films are slightly similar but the child actors in "Moon" far outshine the simpering affectedness of Chlumsky and Culkin in "My Girl" and it's a shame that Witherspoon's talent took longer to be discovered.

Rating: - A childhood memory!
I was spurred on to buy this DVD because I vaguely remembered seeing it as a child and loving it! The film tells the story of two sisters and their lives in Louisiana in the 1950's. Set against a backdrop of cute western towns and coutryside the story is rife with heartbreak, heartache, death and birth. If a little clichéd, viewers should look beyond that to a beautiful portrayal of family love and trust that will eventually prevail. Reese Witherspoon is a great as the quirky and intelligent Dani, and Jason ... Read More

Rating: - A Beautiful Film
This poignant story is one of the most beautiful coming of age portraits ever filmed. It is set in rural Louisiana during the 1950's and is beautifully photographed and filled with love and tenderness. The focal point of director Robert Mulligan's (To Kill a Mockingbird, Summer of '42) story is a very young Reese Witherspoon in a role that should have made her a household name. This story of first love and the tragedy that follows will touch you in a way you'll remember for a long time.
