    elisha is wonderful.

    I watch this movie 6 times.The reason is that i like Elisha. She is wonderful.But the fact about the movie is that all the three kids did a great job.After seeing there performance it is clear to me that acting is not only the elder's business.However, the story was not new but the presentations of this subject in this movie is nice.

    Time At The Top

    I love the movie, it was a very interesting fantasy movie b/c of the real meaning of family in it, the history of our country, the fun-filled action displayed in the movie. I watch time @ the top about 4 X's a week and I just love it! I wish that a sequel had of been made to see more of Susan's dad in the past and watching how Susan delt with her new baby sister and having no telephone, computers, gameboys or anything of the 21st century. I hope everyone else enjoyed the movie as much as I did I guess you could say I'm a time at the top fanatic and I don't mind. The lil boy in the movie Robert Lincoln Walker was simply adorible I wonder who he is and how old he is today. Does anyone know if he's played in over movies or TV shows?

    Borrows slightly from a wonderful novel

    Anyone who loved the two classic novels by Edward Ormondroyd will be disappointed in this film. All the magic and romance have been modernized out of his original story of a girl who does a good deed for a mysterious old lady, and given "three" in return. Three what? Not three wishes, but three rides into the 1800's on a rickety elevator...

    The first novel is Time at the Top. The second is All in Good Time.

    Love through time.

    A fascinating look at the relationship of a single father in 1998 and a single mother in 1881, tied together by a time-traveling teenager. Reminded me of "Somewhere In Time," Richard Matheson's "Bid Time Return," as rendered by Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour.

    One of my favorite

    I watched this one as a kid and then for years I have been looking for it. I love this film. It is one of those kid's movies that don't have anything negative happening, yet keep you interested till the end. I love the chose of actresses, the acting is cute, the concept is brilliant. I just love it. Now I am 30 y.o and I still enjoy watching it, I just feel this calmness and happiness while I watch it, like I can imagine how easy and without troubles life was back then when I was a kid. Nostalgic movie to me, I strongly recommend. Too bad is not more popular, because it deserves it! I love it!!!
