How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsSee This Movie!
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2019
See this movie! It is THE best take on the classic Silas Marner story. Steve Martin is a gem. His relationship with the little girl is wonderful. The moral of the story comes through and the ending pulls everything together perfectly. Give this movie a chance. I even used it in an AP English Composition class I taught. I had the Video but I had to order the DVD copy for our home library to make sure I always had it available. You will love this story.

2.0 out of 5 starsJust Doesn't Offer Much
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022
I expected much more from this film. Instead it is a lame script and it is fair to say the performances are mailed in. Just does not work well, primarily because the cast is weak, as is the dialog. I took a chance on this, and wasted my time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Story
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2012

A good story- Steve Martin outside his usual comedy role, but a very sincere and believable character. Movie got squishy with a lot of music and leaps of credibility as the story unfolds. It could have been treated more seriously and would have gotten a 5 star, at least from me.

Well done, but really didn't care for the story. A different role for Steve Martin.

The movie we have seen and it's great - however, someone sent us a bogus DVD - it does not play. How disappointing!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good movie. Poor quality Blu-ray.
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2021
The movie itself was good but if you’re debating between getting a dvd or Blu-ray, unless they cost the same, don’t bother spending the extra money on the Blu-ray version for this movie. The picture was not at all impressive.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect comedy
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2010
I saw this years ago and still can't forget how dismal and disappointing it was. While I understand actors want to stretch themselves and not always take on the same roles, anyone looking for a lighthearted comedy won't find it here. I don't agree it's gentle or heartwarming, although I'm obviously in the minority here. This isn't funny, it's merely drama and not especially quality drama either. I believe I donated it to Goodwill; hopefully someone with different tastes found it a good deal.
