Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 4.0
A Different Anne Altogether
I have read all but two of the Anne books...Anne of Green Gables and Rainbow Valley. I saw the film version of the first and skipped the latter since it really is about the Meredith Family. This film was entertaining but did not really follow the storylines that LM Montgomery established. One previous reviewer was right when they said if the characters were not named Anne and Gilbert it would be a great "other" film. I did like the fact that Anne finally marries Gilbert but the war elements were raw and very edgy. The scenery and the costumes were beautiful but this would not be a great family film especially if you are looking for sweet and wholesome here. It was nice to see the original cast and how they have matured.
