Sweet, Funny And Charming!

The reviews of this movie seem to be divided. It is one movie which you will either love or hate. This will depend on wether you have a heart or rock located in your chest cavity.I personally loved this movie. As one reviewer said Lilly's Jane's character is a little strange but that only adds to the charm of her character and she is both strong and fragile at the same time.Lilly and her mother arrive in a small Southern town in the late 1940's and the lives of it's inhabitants will be changed forever.A crook is busted and and two young boys fall in love with her which tests the boundaries of their friendship. If you are tired of movies with endless shootouts, special effects and women who can't seem to keep their clothes on you will be enchanted by this film. It is superior to the very overrated and contrived "Stand By Me" and gives a honest view about boyhood and falling in love for the first time and how one person can make a difference. 5 stars for this lovely film and Tania's excellent performance.She is one actress to watch out for in the future.

Children on Their Birthdays is a heartwarming movie that gives us a little break from the violence and horror of movies nowadays. Lily Jane, the lead, comes to town, where two boys, Billy Bob and Preacher (I think), fall in love with her, while Skipper (the auto-fix man) and Billy Bob's mom have their own little romance. The story pretty much unravels from there. Then, Lilly Jane wins a talent show that supposedly is going to transport her to Hollywood, but the car never comes to pick her up. She and her friends go to catch the criminal.
Though many people may say that Lily Jane is a pompous girl, she is not. It's not her fault that in the movie two boys fall head over heels in love with her. She is a very determined, sophisticated, and pretty girl who has a cute little southern accent, even though I did think that the blonde supporting actor was prettier. However, I loved every line Lily said. Tania Raymonde (Lily Jane) is an amazing actor.
This is a wonderful little story with well-cast actors and it keeps your eyes glued on the screen and a little smile on your face. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a movie to bring the family together, or just for pleasure.

Great Family Movie. Especially for Girls.
Added 7/27/2008
I bought this movie for my daughter. She loved it! A great movie to talk about Boy Girl relationships for the first time. Don't have any boys, so I cannot say how they will like it. May be a bit slow for boys, and a bit on the "Girlish" side if they are not interested in Girls yet. However it does have a strong boy lead, and the story is written about a Boy and his friend, and how a girl comes into their town and changes them.
Not a fast pace story.
Buy with confidence if you are looking for a Family Value Story.

cute capote
Added 11/10/2006
The film goes for cuteness. The kids in the movie are cute.
Whenever the makers of this film thought that rewriting the
Capote story would result in a cuter movie, they rewrote.
The ending of the movie changes Capote's story to a shocking
extent. I bought the movie because I thought it might be a
teaching tool; I think I should have been given more of a
warning about how much the story was simplified for filming.
