Must see movie. If you had ever had a hard life, after seeing this movie you'd feel differently after seeing this movie. Natalie Portman one of my favorite actresses after seeing this and the professional. This a very heartbreaking but heart warming at the same time.

This is a really good movie. Its about the struggle to survive with no help until a stranger steps in to save the day.

A very good story about a pregant gal who is abandoned by her lover boy friend, and left to fend for herself. The story is put together very good and does not become depressing as you might imagine, due to the people she befriends along the way.. Wish there were more movies like this that would hold my attention..MG

This is probably in one of my top 3 all time favorite movies. Loved it. Doesn't have great morals but definitely a sweet chick flick.

What a whaky wonderful movie. It was put together in such a way you felt every emotion she was going through...and I loved all of it. A truly good movie.

Morals are not high in this movie so I wouldn't watch it with a young person but it is a great movie for a adult to watch for entertainment. One of my all time favorites !!

Many think this movie to be sweet. But I was so disappointed. The story is about Novalee & Willie Jack. They head West together, until WJ abandons her at a WalMart. They part ways on more than one level - his life goes as low as it can, and her life rises beautifully. It's a study in contrasts, done impeccably in the novel, with complex characters to richen the journey - but it didn't translate. Hollywood cut Benny completely out and shaved Moses down to a bit part while making Novalee's one-visit-mother a major player. They DESTROYED Forney - an eccentric, withdrawn, late-30s genius - turning him into a 20-something easy-going stud with a crooked smile. And Lexie - she's supposed to be a white-trashy size 22 w/4 kids, and they put ASHLEY JUDD in the role. Hello! Does that picture at the top look like a sz 22 w/4 kids and white trash tendencies to you? Read the book. You'll be amazed at how inept Hollywood was at telling this story.

I did not like this movie at all. I thought it to be a complete waste of time. To many things happened to people that were never explained or tied up. The ending was totally predictable, except the ex-boyfriend part. The way she treated the ex-boyfriend when she saw him again was very unrealistic. There were no morals supported by any of the characters.
