I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This film tells the story of a woman who fights hard against the city government taking her home for development by a private corporation.This is a poignant story, and it drives me to tears. I admire the fighters' dedication to fight for their homes. It is engaging and captivating.
A small-town nurse named Susette Kelo emerges as the reluctant leader of her working-class neighbors in their struggle to save their homes from political and corporate interests bent on seizing the land and handing it over to Pfizer Corporation. Catherine Keener is usually pretty good in most things she does unfortunately the same can not be said about her newest film called 'Little Pink House' a film that will literally put you to sleep by how slow and boring it turned out to be but also how older than usual Keener was for some reason too. (0/10)
An excellent, must-see film. Well acted, well directed. A riveting story about one woman's fight all the way to the Supreme Court for justice. ---Gen LaGreca
The movie deals with a significant social issue, the growing trend of municipalities abusing "eminent domain" to evict lower middle class people from the homes they own to hand the land over to big corporations, in the name of urban renewal. The movie suffers a bit from "TV movie of the week" syndrome, but it is well done and the issue is timely.The fact-based movie is grounded in one woman's story to save her home and her community. Toward the end, the movie goes a little too far afield in following irrelevant parts of her story rather than the main story line, but that's a small quibble.
