Reviews by In The Wrong Era

If you read the book, then SKIP THE MOVIE. Books are always better, BUT sometimes the movie can be added fun after the book. NOT THE CASE with this one. They LEFT TOO MUCH OUT, which leaves the viewer unable to get attached to the characters and the plot. Not to mention the changes. I DID ENJOY the animation of Saphira, but that was about all. They should've made the 1st book into 2 movies or not at all.

I just finished the 1st series and THOROUGHLY ENJOYED it! Such a SWEET and VERY INNOCENT romance. I love BBC peroid pieces, and would recommend this series to anyone who also enjoys them too. Series contains English subtitles, which I found strange for the first episode only. And that was because it was set in London, so it seemed it should've been in English. I'm looking forward to season 2.

Great family movie! Will entertain both kids and adults. It is a VERY CLEAN movie - no crude or bad words & no sexual content. I found the movie very sweet, while my husband and boys 11 & 14 laughed throughout the movie at all the funny parts. It's definitely worth seeing!

Way too much potty humor throughout the entire movie. I think it was intended to be funny, but it really ruined it for us.

Excellent family movie with older kids. We let our 2 boys 10 and 13 watch it. There are a few shooting scenes, but they were very mild. They just fell over and that was it. We use a language filter machine, so I can't comment on if there were any bad words. We just really enjoyed this true story with superb acting!

My husband and 2 boys (14 & 11) just finished season 1. MY BOYS REALLY LOVED IT and were always asking when the next disc was coming. My husband also enjoyed it, but not as much as the boys. I liked the fact that the LANGUAGE WAS CLEAN. I would say that if I had girls I wouldn't let them watch it b/c Bear Grylls strips down in many of the episodes to briefly bathe or for some other survival related reason. Private parts are blurred out and the scenes only tend to last seconds, but I thought it was worth mentioning b/c it's something that I'd like to know ahead of time. This review is for Season 1 only. We have not yet watched Season 2.

March 2010 For all the Lark Rise to Candleford fans, I just wanted to share some exciting news I just found out. The larkrisetocandleford website states a 4th season will be filmed in May/June 2010 for transmission in 2011. They're currently airing season 3 on the BBC. What a neat little town from the past to be able to slip away to. Series is similar to Cranford - my favorite. And for those of you who loved Cranford, there is a Return to Cranford, which is just as good as the first!
