Konterr Brilliant and touching
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
ella_great Please can this film be released on DVD. A true heartwarming ambassador to human kindness. If only we could all be like this man. Please please I need the book /dvd. It is madness to think how children throughout time have been thrown away, unloved, uncared for, if only they could all have a tom Butterfield. This story has every emotion on edge. But most of all a true overwhelming sense of love. It opened my heart to a true love story between Mr and Mrs Butterfield.the love and support of friends. Most of all the love the boys had for each other. We forget how growing up within a family is so important. This film shows that money does nor Bring happiness but love. Nurture is greater than nature. I think everyone should watch this film, it may open peoples eyes and hearts to each other. Hale sir tom Butterfield a true saint. God bless you and your family
jaychris2010 What an eye opening film makes you wonder why . There are not a lot more people like tom in this world .Brilliant true story good on you tom.Shows you that there are people out there that do care for our young and vulnerable. But for such a young man two take so much responsibility at such a young age without thought for his self and just for others puts us all two shame .The performance by both main characters was tear jerking.May be we can all learn something from this film. I have that it is for us all two help out in this world no matter how big or how small it all helps in the end .So my message two a lot of people is two watch this truly amazing film you wont regret it trust me .
g-bpearse We seen the movie by Tom Butterfield The Children Nobody Wanted.we really enjoyed the movie, My shows that I like to watch are of true stores and that was just a wonderful movie It sure would be nice if we could get to buy the movie.
Zinone This movie is one that will touch your heart. Tom Butterfield a young man in living MO adopts a orphan and then another and then another until he has a house full of kids. Saving them from the terrible orphanages they live in and abuse, with the help of his girlfriend, played by the wonderful Michelle Pfeiffer, in one of her best roles ever. It is a loving story of how one mans drive and open heart saved many young lives and continues to do so even today.
