Such a beautifully acted tearjerker. Kellie is superb in this film. It is the story of a young woman, Kellie, who becomes guardian of her mentally retarded mother. This is a positive, uplifting film about not giving up on people.
This is a feel-good TV drama about a daughter who was given custody of her mentally-disabled mother after the matriarch of their family passes.
This movie generated some emotion for me as I watched the mother (Mary Steenburgen) being cared for by her daughter (Kellie Martin) and other relatives. It reminds me of the hurdles and obstacles a family goes through in life at times, and how sometimes sacrifices are made for the love of another. The acting by the cast of characters really delivered in making this movie heartfelt and believable.
I am not a real hardcore fan of drama, as the plots really go at a slow pace at times, as evident in this movie. However, overall, the heart-warming and courageous scenes about one's daughter care for her mother will sure move your heart and probably bring you some tears as well.
Grade B

Kellie Martin is great in this movie,not that we've come to expect any less from her but this is one of the best moving dramas made for tv.It's about a normal girl who gets custody of her mentally retarded mother .A tearjerking drama worth seeing 8/10

Bravo! Mary Steenburgen presented a very believable and touching performance. The movie had all the critical elements: comedy, suspense, conflict, grief. It was heartwarming, but not "mushy"; wish they made more movies like this...
Who says only Hallmark Hall of Fame can make wholesome, heart-warming films. "About Sarah" is one of the best movies I've seen on television in a very long time. Kellie Martin's performance was just what we've come to expect from her -- sincere with just the right dose of angst thrown in for good measure. The real star of this movie though, who deserves all the accolades she'll rightly receive for her performance, is Mary Steenburgen. What a great performance! If she isn't at least nominated for an Emmy, there is no justice.
