Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
semmi-arthuri far from what I imagined, when he first read the novel I was very surprised and thought how nice if it was aired in a movie. and when I finished reading the novel in Indonesian version I found a note about the miracle worker is a movie of the novel, I am very eager to watch the movie. and I am looking for the miracle worker movie is new since last year but this time I found it on IMDb. before I ask my friends but rarely anyone knows but I still look for it and now I know this movie was very good and excellent.full of inspiration and motivation for me. other than that I really enjoy the advantages of this movie. I hope my friends in Indonesia could also say this.
ivanahrrs I definitely see this movie as the children's version of Helen Keller's story. The language used in this film is easier to understand, but not true to the time period. The horrors of Annie's childhood were also either overlooked, or barely touched. Because the character's have untouched pasts, it was harder to get emotionally involved in the story. The acting wasn't bad by any means, but when compared to the emotional roller-coaster that the Patty Duke version took you on, this remake falls short. I would show this movie to my younger children only if I thought they weren't mature enough to handle the ealier version of the film.
alliebo_bally I saw this movie when i was only 10 years old i was in the fifth grade i moved to Columbus Indiana during the middle of the school year and i went to Smith Elementry and my class watched a movie called "The Miracle Worker" and when i saw it i said to myself it would have to have been one of the greatest movies i had ever seen and someday i hope to see it again. I would also wish to meet Hallie Kate Eisenberg because she is now and will forever be one of my most favorite actresses there will ever be. Hope to meet you Hallie!Best wishes to all,Allison J.

tedg This story is just screaming to be a fine movie. What is better subject matter for a presentation by signs, than a story of presentation by signs. And there has been a moderately successful film made in 1962, at least it had the weight of trembling actors.This version has been Disneyfied in predicable ways: dumbed, cleaned and sweetened accordingly. But oddly enough for a film about blindness, it is blazingly bright and colorful. I think this is a simple accident of what Disney knows about how TeeVee bleaches colors.And it has two actors who have done well in fine films. Nominally, they are supposed to have a huge metaphysical tussle, here more of a staring contest. David Strathairn's presence in 'Limbo' is really something you need to see. Any one of tens of thousands could have done what he does here.Alison Elliott just blew me away in 'Wings of a Dove.' This woman has enough power to suggest what is suspected of the 'real' Anne, that much of the intelligence of her student was imposed. This would have been fertile stuff for an intelligent film. Oh well, at least she does something.That can't be said for the Helen here who is little more than the dolls in this story. Would have made more sense if that Anne redactor layer was mined.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
