Description of Saving Sarah Cain:
Directed by Michael Landon, Jr., Saving Sarah Cain is a sweet film with an Afterschool Special vibe about a family thrown together by unfortunate circumstances. When her Amish sister dies, Sarah (Lisa Pepper, What About Brian) is forced to question her priorities. Should she move to Pennsylvania where the children feel safe within their Amish community, or should she relocate them to Oregon where she has a successful career as a newspaper columnist? Presuming that the children are more adaptable than she is, Sarah opts for the latter and gives it a shot at making the kids feel at home. But the five orphans have a difficult time trying to fit in to the modern world. They also are still grieving the loss of their mother, whose ways were much different than that of their more abrupt aunt. Like his father, the younger Landon has a deft touch at creating scenarios that are heart-tugging, but not too maudlin. The fish-out-of-water concept isn't a new one, but it's executed well by both Pepper and the young actors portraying the children. Though the film tries to force a surprise ending, the outcome is expected and welcome. And while no one has a miraculous change of heart, the viewer can see that the sextet is creating its own kind of family--one that works for within the frame of their unique circumstances. --Jae-Ha Kim
Saving Sarah Cain Reviews:
Not as good as the previous reviews had led me to believe. 
2009-12-04 - If I had seen it beforehand, I would not have bought it. The plot reminded me of Baby Boom, except this time the career woman inherited five Amish kids. It was okay, but the Love Comes Softly series is better, and The Valley of Light is much better.
A profound message of hope and inspiration. This movie will resonate within you. 
2009-10-27 - Saving Sarah Cain is an amazingly compelling story of salvation, hope and inspiration. The scenery, the acting and directing are perfectly blended to deliver a captivating message that will resonate deeply within. It is so heartening to know that faith-based movie alternatives are available. I purchased this recently to view with my eight year old daughter and I cannot even begin to adequately describe the overwhelming feeling of content in my heart as I watched both the movie and my daughter's reactions throughout. It's been a couple months and she still speaks of the movie. Just this weekend, as her and I both looked up at the stars, exquisitely scattered across the sky she says to me "Daddy, look...pinholes in the curtain's of heaven." As a Christian father, there are many milestones throughout the lives of our children that stand out among the others but, in that instant, I could not think of more profound moment. I gave her a warm smile and as we continue to look up, I then thanked my Father in heaven for His grace and blessings.
Great movie!
2009-10-16 - It's a great movie. Well done, great story, very touching. We all loved it here - even my Dad who is picky about movies that fall in the heartwarming or sweet category :)
A true celebration of diversity 
2009-10-14 - Saving Sarah Cain is not a great movie, but it is a pretty good one, a nice family film that explores family, choices, religion, culture and love in a non-judgmental, non-preachy manner. How's that for a run on opinion?
So here's the deal, I was expecting to be bored to death, or nauseous with sickening sweetness, but found it to be a slightly over sweet tale, with a few things to think about.
3 ½*
We loved this movie!
2009-09-21 - We really enjoyed watching this movie as a family! We didn't want it to end! We want a sequel! Thank you for producing movies that are family friendly and teach solid Christian values without getting to "Preachy".
