Very nicely written, acted, and directed with excellent settings. It may be aimed at girls 6-16 or so. It's about a girl in New York City (NYC) about 1900. She makes friends with an immigrant family from Ireland with three girls. The mother had died, and soon the father dies and the girls end up in an ophanage in NYC. The movie is based on strong versions of the norm common in US girls to help others in need, and the three immigrant girls need a lot of help. There is a LOT of US 'social history' in the movie: The main girl is from a moderately wealthy family. Via that family and others get to see some strong and bitter 'social stratification'. So, see a lot of how such girls lived. She has an uncle with a good paying job although we get no details. He meets a woman, and there is a Victorian style wedding -- really elaborate. There is a lot on women voting and getting rid of the "old ways". There is a lot on sweat shop factories, unsafe child labor, and abusive orphanages. Then can see the role of some wealthy people working, e.g., as members of a board of directors, to solve some of the social problems. Get to see what a private girl's school was like. And there is the best performance of the Bach C major prelude I have ever heard, better than any I found on YouTube. The performer uses a lot of piano pedal and keeps careful continuity through all the chord and key changes and to the climax and ending. My guess is that girls will like it although not all girls 6-16 will get the hints at the social and economic history.
I'd never heard of "American Girl Dolls" until accompanying two grand-daughters aged 5 and 6 to the "doll house" in Water Tower Place (Chicago), where I was greeted by two floors of the latest "must-have" toy (personally, I prefer Barbie). Brunettes, blondes, dolls with and without glasses, dolls in wheel-chairs, injured cheerleader dolls with broken legs in splints--they're all here. And of course there's a doll hospital (glancing at the rates was enough to make me wonder about Medicare or a similar back-up plan for dolls) and hair stylist (charging three times more than my barber). Soon the color pink began to overwhelm all other colors, making it difficult not only to distinguish among dolls but to separate the doll's diner from the doll's dressing room (though expect to break the monotony of pink with a generous amount of green when it comes time to pay up). I was about to purchase the video "Samantha" as a gift to grand-daughter Samantha and her doll Samantha--perhaps a way to intensify and prolong the experience. I'm glad I waited. Amazon's price for the video is half the sticker price at American Girl Store. [I said "was." Suddenly Amazon's price is only 10-15% lower than the store's.] But it's also a fairly impressive movie--just under 90 minutes, decent production values (recreating the two main classes of late Victorian society), an exceptional print (Blu Ray, richly saturated deep colors, carefully composed shots), exceptional performances (the child actress playing Samantha is a natural and even Mia Farrow is no less attractive for finally looking her age). The plot is simple, raising more questions than it answers, but the sentiment works, thanks to the Dickensian tone, which distances us enough from the subject to avoid blatant, patronizing melodrama. Still, an attempt to criticize employers who will stop at nothing (including the unconscionable exploitation of children in factories operating on the backs of orphans) misses the mark. Far more effective is the representation of a romantic couple not so preoccupied with their infatuation for each other and personal plans for creation of their own nuclear family to open not merely their pocketbooks but their hearts and home to three orphaned children. No matter that the orphanage is still not lacking for residents: the magnanimous gesture of the newly-married couple is an act of love that remains with the viewer because it goes "all the way," serving as a reminder that every child deserves a loving family. The ties that bind the human family go beyond mere blood, religious (or political) affiliations, ethnicity, race, and even social status and wealth (though it's clear that the adopting, newly-married couple of the movie are sufficiently financed to start out as a quintet rather than a couple). No one likes abortion, but a story as simple as this makes the point that human selfishness that "kills" the spirit of living children is even more despicable.
Loved this! Watched it with my granddaughter who paid attention through the whole movie! It taught her lessons on the upper and lower classes in early America, compassion, sharing, helping the less fortunate and taking responsibility among others.
I rented this for my daughter but I needed up enjoying it as well.
If you liked the movie Pollyanna, you will enjoy this nice little snapshot of life during the transition between the late 1800s and the early days of the 20th century. The lifestyle of the wealthy and the lower class is subtly contrasted as the story unfolds. The scenery and costuming is beautiful and effectively contrasted by the attire and dwellings of the wealthy and those that serve them. The bucolic and pastoral setting of Samantha's home regally stationed along the Hudson River shifts to New York City where the poor do not fare as well as their countryside peers. Through dialogue and twists of the story's plot, we begin to recognize how the role of corruption and ignorance among both classes played huge roles in the fate of the have-nots. It also shows how one person can rouse others to take an interest in a cause and work hard to make improvements in the quality of life for others. While the movie is probably of greater interest to a younger audience and those who enjoy romantic stories, the movie's moral and civic values present a grand opportunity to bring history to life and become a resource to understanding a transitional period in history and what parallels we might find within our own time. If you are looking for a quaint romantic story with strong values and happy endings, this is for you.
thank you for my order all the best mr mb mills

Little girls will love this film
Little girls will love this film, and others will surprise themselves by enjoying it. Set in 1904, the film does provide a fairly accurate presentation of the time period, although moving from the gorgeous countryside of Mt. Vernon to the urban depths of New York City will strike many modern audiences as somewhat odd. This movie is given in a more serious vein than other American Girl movies, and is a better film for it. Some characters are not fleshed out as much as they could have been, but overall this is a well-told drama.
Wasn't bilingual as stated, but the return was easy with no complications.
great movie! got it on time. it works great. I would say other people would like to see this movie.

Samantha: An American Girl Holiday is an American Girl Movie based on the character Samantha Parkington and her stories .
The movie begins in April 1904 at Grandmary and Samantha's Mount Bedford home. Samantha is running away from Eddie Ryland and quickly climbs a tree to get away. Eddie locates her up the tree and says that she's so dumb she probably thinks three times four is twelve. Samantha says that three times four is twelve and that if he doesn't leave her alone she'll take his money jar and dump it in the river near their home. Eddie says she's too dumb to find it. Samantha is about to retort, but loses her balance and falls out of the tree. Eddie turns to laugh at her as she gets to her feet with a torn stocking and messy clothing; she begins to chase him again. Eddie runs up to his house just as a carriage pulls up to the Ryland home with Nellie, her father, and her two sisters. Samantha asks who they are as Mr. O'Malley helps the girls out the back; Eddie says they are the new servants and the biggest of the girls is his new maid. Samantha says she's too young and that perhaps her mother is the maid. Samantha stays and watches as they unload.
Bridget is impressed with the house and their father says to come along. Bridget complains of being tired; Nellie says to Jenny that she knows she's hungry but it will have to wait. The girls stop to look at the carriage as their father continues carrying their things inside; the four of them will be living in one room. As the girls are waiting, Eddie runs up, preps his slingshot, and breaks a window. Just as Samantha comes up Eddie goes to Nellie, accusing her of breaking the window by throwing a rock. Nellie denies this; Eddie says he will tell on her unless Nellie gives him a penny. Nellie says she doesn't have a penny. Samantha walks up and says that Nellie won't pay anything and that if Eddie doesn't stop causing trouble she'll tell his mother he took one of her good petticoats to make a kite's tail. Before anything else can happen, Mrs. Ryland begins to call for Eddie. Eddie runs off. Nellie thanks Samantha, calling her "miss". Samantha introduces herself and says she lives next door. Nellie introduces herself and her sisters. Samantha says not to pay attention to Eddie and Nellie says they must if they intend to keep their place. Da comes and tells the girls to come along. As they walk off Samantha follows them and asks if Nellie will be going to Mount Bedford School with her. Nellie says she's there to wor
