The book "Sarah, Plain and Tall" is a great book for children 8-11 YOA. My granddaughter really enjoyed reading the book. The problem (s) with the movie we're somewhat typical for a made for television movie. Christopher Walken and Glen Close are great actors and their performances were what you would expect from two professional artists. The faults were very poor casting. Walken is about 48 years old and Close is about 43 years old when this movie was made. Way to old for the characters they portrayed. In 1910 old parents would have been in their 30's and the characters in the book were younger (Walken & Close). The screenplay was poorly written and the timing was off throughout the movie. I would love to see this movie done with a good budget and great screenplay but it may not have the "woke" appeal for today's Hollywood. This movie could be much better!
