This was pretty good, but it was not as "awesome" as I had heard it described prior to watching it. The photography and some of the scenery was "awesome," but not the spoiled attitude of the 12-year-old girl who starred in the movie. That was Anna Paquin playing "Amy Alden." Amy could have used a good smack on the behind a few times, according to the folks I watched the movie with, so you know Anna did a good job of acting to elicit a response from viewers. None of us appreciated that this "family film" had some profanity, too, including using the Lord's in vain blatantly once. I guess this helped the producers get rid of the "G," which they seemed to really want to avoid back in the '80s and '90s. I watched the movie with a guy who is a member of the Niagara Falls Air Force Base, and he's in the picture!
The little girl might have been annoying most of the way, but the photography was excellent all of the way, and so were the amazing geese who followed "Amy." I also thought highly of the opening credits and the accompanying Mary Chapin Carpenter song. This would have really been a sweet movie had they made the little girl a nice kid instead of a brat.
