I am not a twelve year old girl so this movie didn't appeal to me. Cute is the best way to describe it. The sets and the locations were great. The acting was a bit stilted and underwhelming. The costumes, while beautiful but seemed a bit too clean and perfect. The Screen Play and the Directing IMO were the weakest links in this production. If you are going to watch it don't start with high expectations or you will be disappointed. It is on par with Anne of Green Gables and nothing more.
