Sarah, Plain and Tall (1991 TV Movie)
8/10
Much better than it looks...

Sarah is a rather average and supposedly boring woman who comes to look after the children of a man whose wife died giving birth.

At first glance it isn't much, but I read the book years ago and loved it so I figured I'd check out the movie. Sarah, despite being plain, is brave, caring, loves animals and becomes the mother the family never had. The acting was great and there were even some sad and suspenseful scenes. I'm not a big fan of movies taking place in the 1800's but this one was excellent, I'm surprised it doesn't have many reviews. If you ever see it for sale, don't pass it, up, and check out the short novel as well! This is surprisingly a very good movie.
