Dear Frankie - DVD, 4 Star Movie

Post by hidefbob »

I highly recommend the Scottish movie "Dear Frankie". This emotional film is well acted and well directed. It is a real gem!

A synopsis - To protect her son from the truth, Lizzie has invented a story to satisfy Frankie's curiosity. She regularly writes Frankie a letter from his make-believe father who works aboard a ship traveling to exotic lands. However, Lizzie soon finds out his 'father's' ship will be arriving in a few days. Now, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth and hatching a desperate plan to find the perfect stranger to play the perfect father.

Roger Ebert noted that poorly done this movie could have been real sappy ... but it definitely is not.
