There aren't many women that I have met that don't LOVEEEEE Little Women -whether it is the book, movie or both!

Little Women holds a very special place in my heart because I have 5 sisters and we have had many of the escapades that the sisters in Little Women have. My sisters and I have always loved to sit together and watch the original Little Women so when I saw that a modern day Little Women was coming out and I could get a chance to see it early, I was ecstatic!

I love that they have brought this movie back for new generations of sisters and close friends to enjoy and hopefully get them to read the original book if they haven't!!

My overall thoughts of the movie??

Well, I have to say it doesn't beat the original Little Women movie, sadly. I had high hopes but it just didn't cover all the story lines that we have come to love and expect from the book and original movie.

However, it was still funny - I laughed out loud at many parts - and still took me through the many emotions that Little Women always does - sadness, nostalgia, happiness, and laughter! But at the end, I just didn't feel quite content. The actresses didn't quite reach the bar set by the first one and the storyline just seemed lacking and jumped around between time periods in the girls' life too much.

Overall, I still recommend the movie to all because it is just one of those things that you MUST experience in life with a mother, sister or close friend! But afterwards, definitely go watch the original and read the book!

ABOUT THE FILM

Sisters—and dreams—are unique in their ability to inspire, encourage and change the world. For 150 years, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has motivated women of all ages to dream together and celebrate family. Coming to theaters for the first time, a modern retelling of LITTLE WOMEN brings a new generation together with their mothers, sisters and friends.

From girls playing in the attic to women living with purpose, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—are committed to always supporting each other. Yet, growing up sometimes means growing apart. An aspiring writer, Jo leaves for New York determined to publish a novel. In the wake of rejected draft upon draft, her editor challenges Jo to write about something more interesting—her family. When tragedy brings the sisters back home, sticking together takes on new meaning. As Jo comforts her sick sister, Beth asks for one thing: a story. Jo knows the perfect one … by heart.
