Editorial Review:
Produced in 1982, Savannah Smiles tells the story of Savannah, a girl of privilege who runs away from home. She ends up in the company of Boots and Alvie, two ex-convicts on the run. This bumbling duo soon realizes who Savannah is and that a large reward has been offered for her return. They try to give her back, but instead of the parents being grateful, they accuse the two of kidnapping. Boots and Alvie have no choice but to go underground with Savannah, and the three soon become a family whose days are filled with kite flying, home-cooked meals, bedtime stories, and a puppy. But Boots and Alvie know in their hearts they must do the right thing and return Savannah to her parents. For its time, this is a sweet movie filled with innocence and fun. However, in a time when children are told never to go off with strangers, it is hard to justify a movie that glorifies that very thing, no matter how goodhearted the two felons are. (Ages 6 and older) --Peggy Maltby-Etra
Savannah Smiles Reviews:
Savannah Smiles 
2009-06-25 - IF ONLY WE HAD MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS. I LIKE MICHAEL PARKS AND HIS MOTHER. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB OF SINGING GOSPEL SONGS TOGETHER. SAD THOUGH I HAVE THREW AWAY MOVIES MICHAEL PARKS HAS MADE BECAUSE THEY WERE SO VULGAR. THEN I HEARD MICHAEL PARKS TALKING ON A RADIO STATION IN 2008 HOW VULGAR THIS WORLD IS AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS BRINGING THE VULGAR TO THESE MOVIES HE MAKES, SO THIS IS ONE OF HIS MOVIES I WILL NOT THROW IN THE TRASH CAN. YOU CAN BUY THIS MOVIE AND NOT BE AFRAID FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO WATCH IT. WE NEED TO WATCH MORE MOVIES LIKE SAVANNAH SMILES INSTEAD OF THE GARBAGE WE WOULD NOT WANT OUR CHILDREN TO SEE. I AM MICHAEL PARKS'S AGE SO I WAS BROUGHT UP BY A GOSPEL SINGING MOTHER WHO I ALSO WOULD SING WITH. THIS IS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I SAID HEAR YOU CAN REACH ME AT ShrlCp@aol.com

Just what I wanted 
2009-04-25 - My wife loved this movie as a child and talked about how she could show it to our new son when he is older. I found it, bought it and had it shipped. It came quickly and was great. She was so happy.
Fantastic movie!!!
2009-02-22 - Savannah Smiles is one of the best films ever made. The plot was believeable and heart-warming. This is the kind of film my children watched when they were young. They watched this one over and over. I got a copy on DVD for my (future)grandchildren. This one's a keeper.

2009-01-21 - Really liked this movie very much. Very heartwarming. I was sad to learn that the little girl that played Savannah (Bridgette Andersen) had died some years later of a drug overdose. How Tragic! She was such a beautiful child in this movie.
