Review of Little Children (2006) by Eddie R — 24 Jan 2010
A rare situation where the film is better than the novel, but this is probably because of the actors in the film. They really make their community believable and relate-able to the audience more-so than all of Tom Perrotta's words in his novel. Jackie Earle Haley and Phyllis Summerville make the McGorvey's come to life and definitely take the spotlight away from Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson for most of the film.
This film, along with "Children of Men," was very over-looked for both the Oscars and the Golden Globes in 2007 and it's very disappointing. If you have the chance, you should definitely see this beautiful film by Todd Field.
