Review of Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning (2008) by Sanford R — 04 Jan 2009

I think some Anne fans will like this, but I believe most will be disappointed. I am surprised by the overall tone and heaviness of the storyline because I expected this to be a more lighthearted film in order to capture a new generation of young viewers, but I found this to be a more mature storyline compared to the original miniseries that most young people wouldn't get and may be turned off by.

Overall though, I found this was a solid film, but not something I'd really want to watch over again. Their casting of the young Anne was a good one, though the young actress seems more suited for the stage than the small screen.
