"I recently watched the Masterpiece Theater version of Pollyanna. I have seen the Disney/Haley Mills version which is cute, but will give you a toothache. I wasn't sure what to expect because the story itself is very sweet, so it's not like it's going to vary from that too much. The Masterpiece Theater version is very good! The little girl who plays Pollyanna is exceptional. The costuming is wonderful, and the script is great (there are several laugh out loud moments). This version of Pollyanna is a fun production that you can enjoy without making you want to lapse into a coma from the sugary sweetness of it all. "
"This movie is a complete rip-off of Nightmare on Elm Street. A killer kills people in their dreams. A dream psychologist (Elizebeth Hurley) tries to stop him. The only differance is that this movie isn't scary at all. The plot is impossible to follow, and nothing is explained clearly. The cover art may look interesting (especially with Hurley on it) but it is nothing but a huge mess. Steer clear of this one."
"This English Adaption is a brilliant contrast to Pollyanna starring Hayley Mills. It has a good British cast with Amanda Burton as Aunt Polly who is obsessed with health, Georgina Terry plays Pollyanna who finds something good in everyone. Georgina plays her well. At the end it is good that we see Pollyanna after her treatment to her back which unfortunately we do not see WIth POllyanna starring Hayley Mills.Each film has its own uniqueness and contrast between GReat Britain and America ."
