Dove Review

Addie Mills is a young girl who lives with her father and grandmother in a small town in Nebraska. Life was different in those days of the 1940s. People knew their neighbors, lived in the same neighborhood after they were grown and had thoughts about people that moved away. Addie and her friends want to get to know the actress that has returned back to their small town to settle an estate.

There is a particular story that Addie learns that is not as glamorous as they all expected of the successful actress. But Addie’s kindness helps the woman start with a new beginning in the small town that they both adore.

This movie is a charming story of days gone by; at times it seems like you are watching a stage play with talented actor and actresses. It relays the tale of how some people just need a little kindness and help to get through some difficult times.

We award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
