This dvd was nothing like the novel, characters were combine and the story was told out of sequence. It was purchased as a teaching tool to accompany the novel in a special needs class, I was unable to use it for this purpose.
 Quite possibly the worst movie that I have ever watched January 6, 2007

When I finished watching this movie I was completely lost. Plots that go nowhere, cuts in and out of scenes that leave you guessing where you are, terrible synthesized music, and the list goes on. This film would be great for budding producers to watch and learn what not to do in a film. I only wish it was possible to add negative stars!

Jacob Have I Loved was an okay book. But the movie was awful. First of all, it was only an hour long, so all of the scenes were rushed and seemed like they ended right as they started. There were lots of important scenes in the book that were completely left out of the movie, and there were also added scenes in the movie that were not in the book. Anyone who hasn't read the book won't have a clue what's going on in the movie. And by the way, how on Earth were Caroline and Louise supposed to be twins? They didn't even look like they were related!
Read the book; skip this April 1, 2003

Katherine Paterson's book Jacob Have I Loved is touching and well-written. The movie is awful -- it changes the plot and the relationships between the characters, and misses all the subtleties of the rivalry between the sisters. Spend your time reading the book and skip this execrable movie.
The book is better. January 13, 2003
This is a story about a girl in an isolated community trying to find her identity in the shadow of her beautiful and much-loved sister. It was a good thing that I had read the book first because the movie looses much of the story, including the problems with the relationships between Sara Louise, the captain, and her sister. The movie, as usual, changes quite a few important parts of the story, making it a superficial production. My recommendation - read the book first then get the movie from the local library, don't spend money renting it.
