nannette d Aug 26 BEST ACTING PRICE for ANN BANCROFT as GRIM/ GLUM / GRUMPY DEAREST " OLD " GRANNY. I DO ADVISE ALL SCHOOLS to SHOW THIS VERY MOVING MOVIE AS : LEARNING AND LISTENING LESSON(S) TO SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF , EVEN In the AMERICAN / ENGLISH LANGUAGE. BECAUSE I MYSELF HAVE MISSED THESE KIND OF LEARNING & LISTENING MOVING MOVIE LESSONS AT OUR VERY STRICT SCHOOL in UTRECHT - HOLLAND. See more Ljiljana V Aug 24 My favourite movie! Love it. See more 10/19/2020 A very good adaptation. See more 04/05/2011 This was a Showtime movie and though a "made for tv" film, it still is very much worth seeing, especially for the very fine and touching performance by Anne Bancroft. The story of 4 abandoned children who travel by foot and bus to Maryland where they find their grandmother they had never met before (Bancroft) who is living like a recluse and not wanting to now have 4 children to care for. The first half of the movie trudges along a little slowly as the story of the children traveling alone, but once Bankcroft hits the screen it's magic. See more 01/31/2011 You have to admire Dicey for taking care of her siblings, after their mother abandoned them. The ending however was predictable, but it certainly doesn't take away from how charming this film is. See more 08/15/2009 I don't watch original movies too often, but this was a great movie. It's about some kids being abandoned by their mother, so they must set off on a journey to find her or someone else in the family. They end up at their grandmother's house. They're only supposed to stay there for a few days, but they find out they don't have any other place to go. Dicey (Kimberlee Peterson) and her younger brothers and sister must find any way they can to get along with their cranky grandmother (Anne Bancroft) in order to have a chance to stay there. "Homecoming" is a real good overall drama movie. Anne Bancroft and the kids give great performances and the movie will keep you interested. If you like good original drama movies, I recommend getting "Homecoming" if you can find it. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. This is definitely a great, underrated drama movie, since it was TV-only (Showtime, then USA) See more Read all reviews
