Featured reviews
My favorite character has always been Jo. However, the actress who played Jo in this rendition was so over the top dramatic she ruined the movie. Why didn't the director get her to dial it back? Instead of spirited and passionate this actress made her manic and mean spirited.
Well this is not the best version of Little Women ever put on the big screen but it is not as bad as some of the reviews are saying either. It is pretty basic and "contrived" as someone said but it is also a family movie and isn't trying to be very deep. I thought the acting was ok and the story was fine, I mean it is based on the classic. At the least I thought it was a nice idea at trying to modernize the old story. It just could have been better and more engaging.
I love the story of little women and have enjoyed other movie versions of this story. This version just doesn't cut it. I am sure she is a fine actress but Sarah Davenport who plays Jo is absolutely unlikeable. I found the movie contrived, overacted and to be honest hard to watch. I see there is a new version in a year with Meryl Streep and others.....so we shall see. Skip this version.
Sarah Davenport ruined this movie. Her overeacting and dramatics are annoying as hell. Let this be a lesson to actors. This is NOT what you want to portray on screen. She needs to tone it down about halfway.

- TriviaIn the original novel set in the Civil War, Papa March is an Army Chaplain. Since this version is produced by a Catholic organization, Paulist Productions, he was presumably changed to an Army Surgeon so that he would not be a married and therefore non-Catholic chaplain.
- GoofsPapa March is seen in his Army Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) with rank insignia (captain's "railroad tracks") on both collars. Army officers did not wear rank insignia on both collars of the BDU but rank insignia on the right collar and branch insignia on the left collar; as he has been identified as a surgeon, he would have worn railroad tracks on the right and the caduceus insignia of the Medical Corps on the left. (This is still not nearly as bad a goof as in the 1994 version Les quatre filles du Docteur March (1994), set during the Civil War as was the original novel, where every other soldier seen in uniform beside Papa March wore both officers' shoulder boards and enlisted men's stripes!)
