REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 17-Aug-2006)

An ad in the Sunday Times for used books leads an American spinster to meet through correspondence the staff of the used bookk store and it is through these correspondences that friendships are made and mature until it reaches the point where they are almost family in a sense. The American, Anne Bancroft, expresses a desire to go to England and to finally meet these people she knows only through her letters to them but this is not to be. True her friends do get to go to England and they do meet the people there but through a series of problems Ms. Bancroft can never seem to find the time or the funds. When she finally does....ah but that would give away the ending. The story-line is plausable and the characters are real. The acting itself is first rate and i would hihly reccomend this film to anyone who appreciates a truly feel good movie. No sex or violence, just good solid acting. No hidden meanings or politics, just a good story.
