This is a great family movie! It shows a real family struggling and has a sweet story that has a historical backdrop. (Depression era) Good clean entertainment. Keeping for my collection. (:

except for the line that every blade of grass is an angel crap. Shirley Jones characters seems to say some pretty progressive new age stuff, that was probably not from that time era. This movie was well done, besides that. Great message of hope and endurance.

I loved this movie. This is a wonderful story, set in gorgeous mountain scenery, of a courageous woman who triumphs over what seem like insurmountable odds to keep her family and farm safe. There is a beautiful love story that will warm your heart.
Shirley Jones is superb as "Aunt Betty" who reminds her niece that God will provide.

"There's An Angel Behind Every Blade Of Grass"

"While `Hidden Places' ('06) isn't a Hallmark Production it certainly has the feel of one; strong production values, endearing cast, simple straightforward plot and a happy ending designed to warm the heart of the most jaded amongst us.

The lovely Sydney Penny is absolutely fantastic as Eliza and Jason Gedrick delivers a strong but subdued performance as the new man in her life. They work quite well together and it is their chemistry that raises this film to another level. The supporting cast is also first rate, adding lots of personality and texture to the story. I'm sure you'll recognize a number of them; Shirley Jones, Barry Corbin and Tom Bosley lead the list.

The story is good, old fashioned drama/romance emphasizing the importance of faith, family, and community. If you enjoy wholesome, family-oriented entertainment similar to "Little House On The Prarie" you'll love this one. Gather the family together and get the popcorn!"

A Hidden Gem

"This film is a gem. Sydney Penny is perfect in this lovely story as a young, beautiful widow with two children who has her faith tested when everything seems to go wrong in her life. There is something about Penny's performance that is subtle yet strong, as well as delicate but very moving. And of course she is such a natural beauty that all those qualities become even more appealing. And Jason Gedrick also does a fine job as the mysterious war veteran with the goood manners and kind ways that draws Penny into a sweet relationship with this gentle but strong man. Throw in the great Shirley Jones as the ever prodding and full-of-faith Aunt Batty, and you have a wonderful story and beautifully produced film that tugs at the heart and delivers such a heart-warming finish that you will want to play this one over again, and again. It is a little "jewel", just like the lead actress, Sydney Penny."

"For those who are wondering why the PG rating for this movie, well, I'm wondering too. This is one of the cleanest movies I've ever seen. Not one utterence of foul language. Not one utterence of d***, h***, or any irreverence of the use of the word God. Just a clean, clean movie from beginning to end.

The only scene that I could think of that would draw a PG rating is when the grandfather died and they had a funeral. Everything connected to this was brief and something I would not object to my children watching. If there's anything else, I missed it, and I watched this movie intently from beginning to end.

For those who are looking for a true family-friendly movie, this is it. No foul language, no violence, no sexual innuendo. Nothing that any member of the family could not watch.

Kleenex will be needed though."
