Review of Come Away Home

10/10
A Wonderful Family Movie Experience
23 February 2006
I have seen this movie and can only give it my highest recommendation. Every once in a while it is important to go see a movie that actually makes you feel good when you leave the theater. Come Away Home provides such an experience and I would heartily recommend it for anyone who may be looking to go see a thoroughly enjoyable family movie that is free of violence, profanity or otherwise objectionable behavior. It's pleasant feeling envelopes the viewer and lingers long after the movie has ended. Wonderful scenery on Hilton Head Island is enhanced by heartwarming, humorous and meaningful performances by all of the main characters, including Paul Dooley and Martin Mull who hearken memories of Lemmon and Matthau, Thomas Gibson and Lea Thompson who enjoy a chemistry that has been honed as a result of their several past performances together, Jordan-Claire Green, a beautiful young lady whose screen presence plays far beyond her years and Gregg Russell who evokes many poignant emotions from viewers through his touching performance. This movie is a "hidden gem" and is a must see for all family moviegoers. You will surely enjoy the experience and will leave the theater smiling.
