I love it when I put on a film expecting a good time passer and I find out it's so much more. Little Children is one of the best surprises.
The best way to describe this story is that it's a look at a community and the way they live their life, with situations changing due to th... ...( read more ) -

Todd Field delivers a detailed study of adult suburban life, but only occasionally rises the material to greatness. There are too many moments that scream "do-you-get-the-symbolism?" But apart from that, a very good adaptation and great performances by Kate Winslet and Jackie E... ...( read more )

Sensationalism and pseudo indie feel helps to sell movies despite a rather inane content, but it doesn't really do anything to me.
The narration causes fatigue and doesn't really contribute to anything important, aside from very brief keen examinations.

I didn't get the full intended impact from this because I think the editin wasn't too good. I'd have liked a punchier adaptation without too much emotional downtime.

Normally I like these sorts of movies a lot -- the type where the movie tells us of a bunch of intersecting lives. But Little Children isn't the best of this genre.

June 5, 2007This is a great movie option if you like dramas.. And still, for me it wasnt that dramatic as many others.
Is a great movie, and deserves to be watched. Kate Winslet looks so differet from all her previous characters, and Patrick Wilson gave the size to be side by side with Kate and Jennifer Conolley, that eventough her rol is short, she looks amazing and beautiful as well.. Great actress.
But the interesting for me was the director idea for the adaptation. It has great sequences, i mean, isnt boring, and has beautiful shots and stills..
The end of the several histories and characters that developed in the whole world around Sarah (Winslet) and Brad (Wilson) is great. It really left me a really nice flavor, is not dumb and obvious. And i felt my heart pumping on the last scene..
Really good option if youre into this kind of movies, and not regullar and none-sence movies..

October 8, 2006I think this is from the novel by the guy who wrote "Election", Tom Perrotta. I read that book earlier this summer.
