Overall entertaining, but you will not find the movie as captivating as the book. I thought that the film was entertaining, but never delivered the emotion and punch that I felt while reading the novel. The Spruill characters were believable, but I had imagined Hank to be a larger and more menacing physical specimen than the movie portrayed.
Review of A Painted House
A Painted House
(2003 TV Movie)
Lacks the intensity of the book, but a decent tale to watch.
