Little Women movie

I thought this film version was lovely. I 'lived' Little Women when I was young, the book meant so much to me and I wanted to be part of that family.
Saoirse Ronan is wonderful as Jo, I thought. (I loved her in Brooklyn too). But I was amused when Daddy came back from the war and saw it was Bob Odenkirk; - I loved him in Breaking Bad and these days in the prequel, Better Call Saul; - it was strange to see him in such a different role.

Enjoyable, easy to watch film, but think it would have been much better if the girls had been protrayed by actors nearer their supposed ages, rather than by big named actors, all far too old. Of course, Professor Bhaer was German and should have been at least 20 years older!!
The film actually covered not just Little Women but much of Good Wives. Wonder if there is any intention of a sequel planned to cover Little Men and Jo's Boys.

Very mediocre in my view. Also couldn't catch all the dialogue. The two English actresses were easier to understand funnily enough. Beth wouldn't have been playing with dolls at her age which seemed weird. Lots of laughter in parts looked so hammy. Didn't like the flashing backwards and forwards. Glad I only paid £2.50.

Just back from the cinema. I really enjoyed the film and didn't mind the time slip at all.
I agree Laurie and Friedrich were not as expected but that didn't really detract from the film.

Went to see it at our brand new, long awaited cinema and loved it. I have read the book over and over since I was about 10 until I actually feel part of the March family. Yes Jo has always been my role model. I didn't mind about the time slips though I agree Professor Bhaer should have been much older. Amy too seemed wiser than I remember her. I love this story.

Saw it today with my sister. We loved it!

Saw this today and loved it. Was a bit worried about the length of the film but the time passed very quickly and I got totally absorbed in this lovely story.I was prepared for the flashbacks so they did not worry me.

Haven't see it but for me the best version was made years ago with Elizabeth Taylor.

I enjoyed it but found the jumping around in time confusing.
