Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 2.0
I don't think Lucy Maude would like this "adaptation"
I was a true "Anne" fan growing up and loved the first 2 movies, so I was excited to see this one come out. It was nice to see the old characters, and even Mrs. Lynde makes a welcome appearance, but overall I was disappointed with how much liberty was taken with the story. I much prefer it all as LM Montgomery wrote in the books and maybe being so familiar with the books was what spoiled the movie for me. I would have to say that the movie did not have a cohesive storyline, provided too many unanswered questions and unbelievable coincidences, and the character of Anne had sadly lost her magic and her spunk. Megan Follows and the rest of the cast tried, but they just had nothing to work with.
