Just returned from BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE...oh my gosh, but I enjoyed that movie.
It is very sweet and heartwarming. It is funny without being at all vulgar, and the actress who played the little girl, Opal, was wonderful. And it also stars Cicely Tyson and Eva Marie Saint...I have never been a fan of either lady but they were sure good in this movie...and it seems very rare that movies nowdays have a lot of older people as main characters.
If you prefer your movies on the cynical side, you might not care for this one, but if you love dogs, or just nice feel good movies with a positive message then you will probably really enjoy it.
