Mia Farrow

"I'm a big fan of period drama, and while Samantha- An American Girl Holiday, is clearly geared towards girls, I found myself really enjoying this film, and I'm an adult! This follows the adventures of Samantha- an orphan who lives with her strict Grandmother GrandMarie in Upper New York. She befriends a young Irish girl who was hired to be a maid for a next door neighbor. Samantha's friendship with Nellie was very well portrayed, and all the characters- included Sam's aunt and uncle were great. This is a fun classic for those who want a warm, feel-good story to perk up those winter months, or to share with your kids or other kids at heart! I certainly hope they make more books in this series as this film was wonderul and entertaining! Five Stars."

"I think I speak for everyone when I say 'it's about time'. These Jim Henson box sets are always a bit pricey, but they are always top quality. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm much more likely to purchase TV series when all the seasons are released. So my message to the manufacturer: 'hurry up and keep em coming' ! they just dont have entertainment like this on TV anymore"

"To be serious I was**pectin nothing... but left the theater really happy and I must confess that I watched twice. One by myself and the other to take my friends. I really recomend it*** pretty fun and the CGI are great."

"My 6 year old daughter has read all of the Samantha adventures, and was**cited to get this movie as a gift. It is a nice story with all the books woven together. The acting, scenery, costuming, and music are all first rate and true to the American Girl line. Most importantly, it is wonderful to have a movie that captivates children and has such wonderful lessons of kindness, giving, standing up for what you believe, and sacrificing for others. It's very hard to find true gems like this among all the trash they make for girls these days. As a mom, I am so grateful that there are people still willing to make quality movies with traditional values for young girls today. This is definatly a must have for any girl age 6-12."
