Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   N/A Source Brief Review NZone (2 out of 5 stars) "I always had a feeling that Oprah Winfrey was better at choosing restaurants than she was at picking books." more... Cinema Sense (Gold) "In this fairy tale, the magic comes not from a waived wand but from the expansion of the human heart as an unwed, pregnant teen transforms into a loving young woman." more... Cranky Critic "A flat out hit." more... goodauthority: Fried Green Steel Magnolias "Directed by Matt Williams and based on what's almost surely an unreadable novel by Billie Letts, 'Where the Heart Is' is one of those movies in which working-class women of various ages drawl Hallmark platitudes at one another when faced with overwhelming obstacles." more... James Berardinelli (3 out of 4 stars) "In 'Where the Heart Is,' actress Natalie Portman has found another role she can inhabit with unimpeachable aplomb." more... JoBlo's Movie Emporium (7 out of 10) "The white-trash feel good hit of the year! Harumph...okay seriously, although many will ultimately dismiss this film as the grand-daddy TV movie of the week, I enjoyed much of it based solely on the excellent performances put forth by five great actresses." more... Movie Bodega (D) "An emotionally overwrought tearjerker featuring some of America's greatest actresses, its pitiful execution is only worsened by its complete waste of A-list talent." more... Nitrate Online "'Where the Heart Is' is less a movie filled with bad dialogue and implausible situations than a thinly-veiled pretext for product placements by WalMart." more... Orlando Weekly Movies: Tragically Hick (3 out of 5 stars) "It's always a good idea to be wary of movie characters who come bearing funny names. All too often, the humor doesn't stretch past the nomenclature." more... PopMatters: Righteous "Thank god for Joan Cusack." more... Spliced Online: Portman Buoys Hallmark Card 'Heart' "Sublime young actress plays unwed teen mom in pandering, meandering white trash soap opera." more...
