Loved it! Wish I could get it on DVD!

Based on the Broadway play. A must watch for anyone in leadership in America (from fathers to the president). Someone had good theology when they put this piece together, and the craftsmanship oozes out everywhere. Can I gush even more?

Orphans is an incredibly heart-warming and inspiring film. It's first-rate on all counts. Pleeeeezzz, make this genius film on Blu-Ray.

A movie adapted from a play that really works
Added 8/2/2007
The producer and director managed to take the original play and smartly craft it into a film that has modest but effective sets; the actors have a chance to really show their craft (since the dialogue is so good) and the cinematography manages to capture the mood and style of the inner circumstances of the cast. The message is a simple one, yet somehow our culture has yet to heed it. To promote a just society, we need to give all our children 'a little encouragement.' Don't confuse this film by the Irish film of the same title.

I first saw this film several years ago and found it quite entertaining. The range of emotions from sadness to happiness to despair is remarkable; the characters are immediately likable and lasting. So many films that have appeared on DVD would never be missed; this one has been missing from the DVD format far too long. It is overdue...
