 A nice film . . . November 12, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
. . . I liked it and thought the acting was great from all and the happy ending was just the icing on the cake. The only thing I didn't like was a) Natalie Portman's accent. She does not sound like anyone I have ever met from Tennessee or anywhere in the south for that matter.br /b) The story, at times seems a little far-fetched. For instance - the part when Novelie is hanging onto the cellar/storm shelter door hatch and her daughter as a tornado is passing by. br /Other than that, its a very enjoyable fim with a strong cast.
 The power of a secret movie gem! January 15, 2006
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I had a free movie rental trial and was searching for films similar to 'Fifteen Pregnant' (featuring Kirsten Dunst), when I came along this 'made for tv' movie. I thought I'd try it out seeing as it was a free trial and all. It turned out becoming one of my favourite films!pThe unlikely and charming plot makes it not your regular chick flick as there are quite a few surprises along the way. But makes you wanting to come back and watch it again and again!pYou must see this film!
A lovely wee film January 31, 2005
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
After seeing this film once on late night TV, I was hooked on it. I rented it a few times then thought, why haven't I bought this thing?! So I did! It's definately one of my favourite films, it's the ultimate feel good movie, for me personally. Maybe it's because the hero isn't all gorgeous and musclebound, which adds a sense of reality to the whole thing. Or maybe it's because Natalie Portman's acting is so good... or the feeling that you are following her whole life. I suspect it's a combination of all of these. If you like a good cry at the end of a film and a warm feeling when you walk away from the TV set, this is a must see for you.
 Very sweet January 9, 2005
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This film is extremely sweet. The characters are very well developed and Natalie Portman's character is truly believable- you at once empathise with her. Life throws these awful bombshells her way and yet she deals with them in such a strong, independent and accepting manner. Portman's humility exudes as does Novalee's bravery against all odds. I found this film great to watch as a Sunday evening feel good flick- you can tell it was adapted from a book which usually puts me off however they all pull it off very nicely.
WHITE TRASH GIRL MAKES GOOD... February 22, 2003
39 out of 42 found this review helpful
Based upon the book of the same name by Billie Letts, this film was a more than pleasant surprise. It is simply a compelling, absorbing, and unusual film. Well directed by television veteran Matt Williams, the movie exudes a certain folksy charm that grabs the viewer from the get go and keeps that viewer enthralled until the final scene.pThe film centers around Novalee Nation (Natalie Portman), a very pregnant seventeen year old, who, with her boyfriend, lowlife Willy Jack Pickens (Dylan Bruno), pulls up to a Walmart's in Oklahoma where he abandons her. So, with virtually no money, literally barefoot and pregnant, and nowhere to go, she sets up camp in Walmart by night and explores the town by day, making friends with a number of memorable characters.pShe unexpectedly has her baby at Walmart's, making her into a minor local celebrity. While at the hospital convalescing, she meets a sassy, brassy nurse, Lexie Coop (Ashley Judd), who befriends her. She is showered with gifts and her mother, Mama Lil (Sally Field), a floozy who discovers her daughter's whereabouts courtesy of the media hoopla, pays her a visit. Having abandoned her once before, she is there long enough for Novalee to be abandoned, yet again.pAlong comes Thelma 'Sister' Husband (Stockard Channing), an eccentric but kindhearted recovering alcoholic who scoops Novalee and her baby up and takes her to her home. This would be the beginning of a whole new life for Novalee, one that would be enriched by the people whom she meets and the experiences, both good and bad, to which she is subjected. It becomes the story of her personal and emotional odyssey, as well as the story and growth of those with whom she most closely interacts. It is a story about life, relationships, responsibilities, love, and the ties that bind. pIt is also the story of Willy Jack Pickens and the direction his life takes subsequent to his abandonment of Novalee. After some bad breaks, he gets talent agent, Ruth Meyers (Joan Cusack), to sign him on in hope of furthering a musical career. Unlike Novalee, however, he does not take well to the vicissitudes of life and begins a free fall in a downward spiral. His waterloo culminates in a dramatic meeting with Novalee after many years, a meeting that sets her free from her past, free to love the one person who loves her for herself. pNatalie Portman delivers her best performance to date. In the role of Novalee, she mixes innocence with wonder at what the world has to offer her. She adds a certain sweetness, poignancy, and determination to the role that translates into a wonderful vulnerability laced with steel. It is this quality that gives Novalee the will to go on when the odds are so against her, and that is just what Natalie Portman conveys to the viewer. pStockard Channing is great as the eccentric and kind Thelma 'Sister' Husband, a woman who never had children of her own but is truly a mother at heart. Nurturing her garden, as well as Novalee and her baby, flowers and plants are not the only things that thrive under her care. A veritable Mother Earth, she is the kind of person who brings out the best in others, and Novalee and her baby are no exception. Stockard Channing, a great, though underrated actress, brings this home to the viewer in spades.pAshley Judd is terrific as the wide-eyed, "looking for love in all the wrong places" Lexie. She comes across as sassy and brassy but is really only looking for someone to appreciate her for who she is and not for the sex she has to offer. Judd delivers the nuances that this role demands. James Frain is sensational as the shy, sensitive, and kind Forney Hull, the town librarian's brother who befriends Novalee. He plays the role with such vulnerability and imbues him with such goodness that the viewer cannot help but care deeply for him. It is also almost hard to believe that James Frain is British, as he has an American accent so down pat. pDylan Bruno is perfect as Willie Jack Pickens, the country good old boy who ruins his own life and almost ruins Novalee's. Joan Cusack shows her deft comedic flair in the small, but memorable role of Ruth Meyers, and Sally Field leaves her mark in her cameo role as Novalee's mother. All in all, the entire cast gives stellar performances. This is a well-directed film that should not be missed.
