    Sheer Delight

    Little Secrets was a gem of a movie picked up only because the big hits were out, and boy was a glad for that. This is a warm hearted and utterly believable little film about teens and kids. The performances by the lead teen stars is so believable I forgot I was watching a Movie, the young kids are so real I swear it was like peering into a real life situation. Kudos to all of the and a tip of the hat to young Landon Kunzelamn as Mikey he cracked me up. Great little movie, don't pass it by on the shelves.

    Pleasant...

    A very relaxing movie with real understanding of early teenage. Evan Rachel Wood plays a very interesting character with real passion. All the other child actors also did their respective jobs quite satisfactorily. The script is wonderfully written which makes it a perfect early-teen movie without being perky.

    The ending somehow becomes a little too predictable and the story should have included more of Emily's darker side of nature. But I understand this film to be watched mostly by much younger audience, so I guess it's better to keep her character such near-perfect. In the end, the movie is definitely pleasant and relaxing to watch.

    LOVED IT!

    This was the best movie, I watched it with my girlfriends at a sleepover. Evan Rachel Wood was awesome. I was hoping that she would choose fill it up. But she didn't. oh well. anyway great movie. I liked the kids, my favorite was Isabelle, she was so funny, and cute. The best part was when she found out that JOrdan was coming to meet her or Jenny her sister anyway. I think Michael Angarano is so cute, and he was the funniest one, the girl with the cats was adorable, and I liked Mikey and Gregory too, I also thought that the part where she fell off the roof was kind of scary.

    Little Surprise

    I hadn't personally heard of this one, until I stumbled across it on IMDb. Decent rating, with that '7th Heaven' kid. (I used to love that show.) I thought I'd give it a try.

    What a great find! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The acting from all involved was excellent. The story was believable. The characters were ones you could understand emotionally (even if you've never been in their shoes).

    A story driven piece. It's not about effects or anything superficial. It actually means something.

    While I think it was perfectly executed by all involved, I do not give it a ten. It was enjoyable. I really like it, but I don't love it. I think it's basically because I'm not a teen or a young child and that's who it's aimed at.

    But, that being said, I would watch it again, and maybe even add it to our families movie library. Give it a try. You, too, may be pleasantly surprised.

    Decent Pre-Adolescent Flick

    'Little Secrets' is one of those 'sweet' movies that appeals mostly to early teens. The story idea of a young secret keeper is quite amusing and the secret keeper's quest to adulthood is portrayed in an okay way (though very clichéd). Evan Rachel Wood is very pretty and her acting is also what contributes to the film's positive side. She's the reason why I watched it till the end instead of switching to something else (as mushy teen flicks of this decade do not hold much appeal to me). Vivica A. Fox delivers a restrained performance and Michael Angarano is alright. The rest of the cast are adequate. On the flip side, 'Little Secrets' is no classic and it will vanish into oblivion among other teen flicks releasing every year. The direction is okay as Treu stays focused on Emily's story but at the same time he introduces too many themes that are tackled in a very sugarcoated and half-baked manner. Overall, it's a decent flick with a good performance by a confident young actress.

    • Quotes

      David: Wait a minute. You like her, don't you?

      Phillip: Emily? I don't think so.

      David: Give it up, buddy; you're twelve.

      Phillip: David, you got it so wrong.

      David: Alright, then you won't be upset when I make my move.

      Phillip: Of course not. But you're the one who should give it up. She's like in love with some middle-aged composer.
