Simple, beautiful and very touching. The first reason why I watched this movie was Natalie Portman. She looks amazing there and not only her but everyone. It has a very beautiful story and very realistic too. Much more than you can hope for the plot of the movie, this was definitely a good discover. A movie I wanna watch it again and again & in fact it touches your heart.

“I really liked this movie, it is a sweet charming story. Staring Natalie Portman and a few other stars, Natalie plays Novalee a young pregnant woman. Who finds herself dumped at a walmart, where she sets up home. While living at the wal-mart and before the baby comes, Novalee explorers the town, meeting some charming characters. Novalee goes into labour while still living at the wal-mart, but is rescued by Forney. Novalee stays in the town, and finds new friends, family and love. Like I said this is a sweet tale, and the acting from all the actors charming. Overall a very charming movie, and one I really enjoyed watching but I am a big sucker for Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd.” read more

"I loved both Natalie Portman, and Ashley in this movie. Ashley was a supporting star, but she played a good part and did a good job because I loved her character of Lexie along with Novalee played by Natalie."
