A classic, remade WELL with exceptional actors.
I bought this movie after recently re-reading the novel. I owned both the original movie and the remake on VHS, but misplaced them years ago. The 2000 version paints an accurate, beautiful picture of the Novel by Louisa May Alcott. I believe it highlights the most important aspects of the book-a difficult feat, especially for a novel over 640 pages.
The only problem I have with this remake is the depiction of the relationship between Laurie and the Amy. The movie makes it seem as though Laurie goes from being rebuffed by Jo, to falling (literally) madly in love with Amy. There is a time lapse of four years during the movie,and they had to cast an older actress to play the 4-year older Amy. This is understandable and was necessary to translate this tale properly to film. But because her "aging" and her relationship with Laurie happen so suddenly during the movie, it comes off as creepy and incestuous.
I remember always being sad when the movie ends, and watching it years later was no different. This movie will surely move you and your whole family to both tears and laughter, and leave you all with a warm feeling.
