Editorial Review:
A LIVE-ACTION MOVIE BASED ON AMERICAN GIRL'S MOST POPULAR CHARACTER, SAMANTHA! EVERY LITTLE GIRL WILL WANT TO SHARE SAMANTHA'S ADVENTURES IN THE BUSTLING NEW YORK CITY OF 1904.
Description of Samantha - An American Girl Holiday:
The American Girl collection of books, dolls, and accessories makes its film debut in this inaugural title featuring bestselling character Samantha, in a live-action holiday story set in 1904. AnnaSophia Robb plays Samantha Parkington, a poised yet playful 9-year-old who lives with her wealthy grandmother (Mia Farrow) in a country estate after the untimely death of her parents. Still grieving her loss, Samantha takes comfort in her friendships with new pal Nellie, a servant girl, and her dashing Uncle Gard (Jordan Bridges), a successful businessman. When Uncle Gard marries Cornelia (Rebecca Mader), Samantha is reluctant to embrace this female "intruder" until she spends three months with the newlyweds in New York City. In time, Samantha grows to trust and admire Cornelia, a spirited suffragette. Emboldened by Cornelia's example, Samantha takes her own courageous risks to improve the plight of some young orphans. This superbly produced film provides a glimpse into America during the Industrial Revolution, while showcasing the promising talents of young Robb. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson
Samantha - An American Girl Holiday Reviews:
Important History shared in a wonderful story 
2009-12-16 - I have seen this American Girl movie on several occasions. I find the story and cinematography to be very good. What a wonderful opportunity to see into the lives of youngsters at this time in history.
I recently purchased this video to share with my 8 year old daughters third grade class. They were going to visit the Governor's Mansion on a field trip. This is a wonderful victorian home. Rather than just seeing it as is today, I wanted them to see the video to get an idea of life in the early 1900"s. i also wanted them to understand the problems that children and society had at that time. This movie clearly shows people dealing with issues like Womens Sufferage, Child labor, and the lack of mandatory education.
Good movie and good educational film
Love it
