Amazon.com:
Molly, a spunky heroine in the wildly popular American Girl series of books and characters, is a typical tween living in an atypical time: 1943, the height of World War II. In An American Girl on the Home Front, Molly and her friends are dimly aware of the war and the occasional hardship it can mean, but Molly (played with grace and bravado by Maya Ritter), like most kids, really hasn't had occasion to pay attention ("She just doesn't understand rations, Mom," her sister snipes). This film follows Molly as the war begins to hit home; her father is shipped overseas and her mom (a delightful Molly Ringwald) becomes a temporary Rosie the Riveter. Molly bravely rolls with the punches, yet her life is still leavened with fun, like learning to tap dance for the local Miss Victory competition. Then a young refugee from England, Emily (Tory Green), comes to stay, and Molly's, and young viewers', consciousness is raised. As always with American Girl heroines, Molly is a great role model with strong values, but never a goody-two-shoes. The period touches, including clothes, movie-reels, and background music, are well done too. Extras include a compelling documentary, Uncle Sam Wants You... to Tap Dance, featuring an interview with Mitzy Scott, an 88-year-old former USO dancer and hostess, relaying her personal history of dancing at home and with soldiers on leave, making something personal and dear to her--dance--into the ultimate patriotic act. --A.T.

Rating: - Great family movie!
This is a must-see for those who like heartwarming, family-friendly movies. It's a great history lesson, as it provides a peek into the World War II era. The American Girls books and movies have definitely created a greater interest in history for my daughter.

Rating: - Fantastic, entertaining movie
This is another great American Girl movie. Not only are American Girl movies entertaining they teach values and morals in a non-preachy, fun way that girls can understand. The "Molly" movie is the favorite of both my daughters ages 9 and 5. It is historically accurate and informative and both my husband and myself enjoyed the movie as well. We own all the American Girl movies and have NEVER been disappointed. It's a purchase worth every penny!

Rating: - Molly-An American Girl on the Home Front
This was a very realistic view of what life was like in the United States during World War II. I know, as I was a girl the same age as Molly during World War II.

Rating: - My review of Molly
It is hard to rate this product since I haven't viewed it yet, but I will base my rating on the condition in which it arrived and the time frame in which I received it. I haven't played the movie yet since it is a Christmas gift for my 10 year old daughter. The product arrived in the mail fairly quickly, but I thought I had ordered a brand new movie and discovered that the original wrapping was not on it, leading me to believe that maybe the movie had been used. I can't say what the quality of ... Read More
