Member Rating:  
Savannah Smiles is a sweet little film that proved a surprising hit on the Saturday matinee circuit. Mark Miller and Donovan Scott play a pair of good-natured escaped convicts who cross the path of precocious runaway Bridgette Andersen. When Andersen explains that she's hit the road because her wealthy parents neglect her, Miller and Scott decide to hold the kid for a huge ransom. You and I both know that the crooks will turn soft before the end, and return Andersen to her folks without a dollar changing hands, but even predicting the film's outcome cannot diminish its charm. Star Mark Miller, who also scripted Savannah Smiles, is the father of actress Penelope Ann Miller. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I too remember this from when I was a kid in the 80s. Brings back lots of memories for my family. Some parts sad, some funny, but always heartwarming. The little girl that played Savannah would be 31 now, that makes me feel old! Unfortunately, she died 10 years ago from a drug and alcohol overdose. Hard to believe when you witness the innocence of this movie.

    I was dragged to this movie as a high schooler. I thought I was way too cool to go to a "children's" movie. Boy was I wrong. This was a great movie. Whenever I see it on TV I watch it again and enjoy it almost as much. This is definately worth renting.

    I have been trying to buy a copy of this movie for 10 years, and I am glad to see that is finally coming out. My wife will be so happy to hear. She has loved this movie since the first time she saw it in the 1980's when aired on HBO. The story line is worth it for everyone to see. The entire family. The movie is filled with lots of heart felt scenes, both happy and sad....I can't wait to have this in my hands. The search is finally over...
