THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE!!!!! This movie is awesome. I was not expecting what happened at the end. WOOHOO!!!!!! Great Job!!! BEST AMERICAN GIRL MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN. Bravo! If you have not watched this movie....... YOU NEED TO SEE IT! I love how it shows Samantha's kindness towards Nellie, Bridget, and Jenny. I love seeing that Jenny finally talks in the end! She should not have hid her voice for more then a year. I would love to have them as friends. Nellie was to young to be a servent of Eddie Riland's family. Samantha is great. Wanting to help her friends all the time. Cornelia is great, too. She showed kindness to everyone. At first, Samantha did not like her. Uncle Gard was great with adopting Nellie and the girls. Watch this movie. It is fantastic!
