A Little Inside

A little inside was one of the best films I have screened. Having viewed in the presence of the entire cast, I may be biased. However, It is exciting to see strong screenplays and equally powerful performances by the cast outside the big 5 production companies. The big 5 have disenfranchised the public for too long, make way for independents!

I liked this movie a lot . But thought Nanci's character was a little too controlling .I know people like that ex step mom was like that and to me it wasn't because she didn't raise any children that was the problem with Abbie and her .There are a lot of people who don't have children but awesome working with children .I teach karate assistant coach soccer and work with kids at my church going to college to be a teacher . I just recently found that person in my life with young princess's Lizzie Isabell 10 and Emma 7 who call me dad and tomboys part of what I started with that job the lord gave me .But started that job the lord gave me working with kids and joking around way before I met them last year when I was 45 I was still in high school when that started .So it wasn't because she never raised a kid like my step mom she needed to loosen up a little and stop taking control of everything .

Anyone who has lost someone can identify with this picture. "A Little Inside" is an appropriate name for this film. The creators have taken the love for the game of baseball and transformed it into an emotional roller coaster ride that grabs your heartstrings as well as your head. Benjamin King does an excellent job of showing how hard it is for real men to show their emotions. The women who encounter this man are taken in by his love for his daughter and his emotional need to watch her grow. The character Ed Mills is torn between his love for baseball and his love for his daughter. Can't he have both? This film is being recommended for people of all ages with a warning to hang onto your heart.

I was quite disappointed in this movie. Luckily, Hallie Kate Eisenberg was cast in it because without her, the movie would have been over before it started. How long had Ed Mills (Abby's father) and Nancy, the next door neighbor, known each other? How was it that Nancy had no idea how Ed Mills' wife died? Also, Nancy's constant interfering in the raising of Abby should have made Ed Mills turn to someone else to watch Abby. Enter, Abby's friends Mother, Sarah Parker. Why wasn't she asked to watch Abby? There were so many inconsistencies in this movie but the one constant was Abby. For someone so young, to be able to carry a movie like she did, that alone made it bearable.

I actually registered for IMDb just to sound my warning. I don't fancy myself a movie buff or a critic and normally walk away from most movies with something I appreciate. A negative review is not something I would expect to give, but I lost 90+ minutes last night watching this.

The first half of the movie dragged downward and the film never recovered after that. In short, all of the story lines and characters were under-developed. Consequently, the "resolution" didn't strike much of a chord. You could see what the intent of the film was, but that was about it. I felt like half of every storyline was left on the editing room floor.

I definitely would not recommend this film.
