A jewel of a sleeper, The Man in the Moon comes off as a nearly perfect short story of two sisters' first competition in the field of love. In a 1950's small Louisiana farm town, 14-year-old Dani falls for Court, a 17-year-old engaging neighbor boy. The two become great friends, but Court is more interested in Dani's 17-year-old sister, Maureen, who is blossoming. Dani will look for any justification why she should be with Court, but as human law dictates, there is no cure for a 14-year-old with a crush. The film is another winning portrayal of small-town adolescence from Robert Mulligan (To Kill A Mockingbird). His eye for casting is impeccable, with Sam Waterston and Tess Harper as the earnest parents and newcomer Jason London as the dreamy Court. The real find, though, is Reese Witherspoon as Dani. Her timeless work here is magical. The PG-13 rating is a bit heavy-handed--although the film does not shy away from its look at budding sensuality, or a horrific and emotional accident. Mature 10-year-olds may find one of their favorite films here. --Doug Thomas

 Good movie March 2, 2010
Mother of Five (Maine)
This was one of my fav movies back in the day. Now I think it is good. I don't like the ending and a few things about it now.

 good family film February 10, 2010
A. E. WATROUS (Madera, CA)
If you have pre-teens or teens at your house, this is a good movie to watch together.....A very young Reese Witherspoon does a fine job with this role.
Good cast; silly story January 13, 2010

I was amazed at the high number of five star reviews here. I'll give it three stars for the wonderful performance by the always wonderful Sam Waterston and for a great job from a young Reese Witherspoon. The other cast members were adequate but nothing to rave about.
The story is one cliche after another with a lot of cheap tricks catalyzing the action---accidents. The setting is another rural Southern area in the fifties....haven't we seen this before????
I guess urban folks who live in LA have a lot of illusions about this locale. And, while I'm griping...how many outdoor burial scenes appear in films? There ought to be a limit.
It may appeal to pre-teen girls who still love Elvis Presley, if there are any.
Timeless January 3, 2010

this great coming of age story would make a great addition to any house hold!
