I can't believe users gave this a B. The dialogue is so out of touch with reality and it's such an obvious portrayal of family life struggles from a liberal's eye view. Morality is BAD! Cheating is GOOD! Suburban stay at... Full review

What the hell is wrong with people today? How can you possibly like this messed up movie. People don't understand the fact that things that may look/appear innocent and poetic can be very very evil. This movie is not poetic in... Full review

This wasn't a bad movie if you're interesting in exploring the raw emotions of humanity. What was kind of funny to me was I didn't realize that when I rented this movie, I'd read the book a few months ago. So... Full review

This was a sorta weird movie, but the kind you can't stop watching. It ended up being really good. I liked that there were a lot of different characters and during the movie it had me wondering how they all would... Full review

I rented this movie over the weekend and liked it. What I got from it was a couple of small stories that come together to make the actual movie. This could easily have taken place in my own hometown.... Full review

Freddy likes Little Children And if you saw his turn in "Little Children", you'll know he's got the 'creepy' thing down pat.I'm still not convinced the film needs to be, or that it'll even be good (and doesn't help that captain VH1 is directing), but at least there'll be one less thing to complain about come 2010. ...

Winslet was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar ) Little Children is as much fun to watch as it is tough to sit through. His story arc is tough and uncompromising and he does really well in this - eliciting our sense of horrified fascination instead of trying to squeeze us for empathy. ... Full Review

Unnervingly good, "Little Children" is one of the rare American films about adultery that feels right--dangerous, hushed, immediate--even when the sex takes a back seat to other longings. On the page "Little Children" was easy, bouncy, full of pop culture references, right down to a nod to "American Beauty," the suburban-anomie hit that was just facile enough in its reversals and revelations to win Academy Awards. ...
