Editorial Review:
Twelve-year-old Annie Lamms parents have decided she should spend the summer with her Grandpa Donald while they enjoy a second honeymoon. Annie is less than enthused, and even more disappointed to discover that Grandpas beautiful house on the beach is a dilapidated wreck filled with a lifetime of junk and clutter. With no friends, no computer and nothing good to eat, Annie is miserable and decides to run-away back to her home in New York City. But fate -- and Grandpa -- intervene and show Annie that there s much more to life than shopping or internet blog sites. She learns the real value of family and friends and learns to see beyond the surface of life. Come Away Home is an enchanting and critically praised adventure that will inspire and entertain audiences of all ages. Featuring an outstanding cast (and a notable subplot with Gregg Russell as a handyman struggling with a troubled past), this film is a genuine delight.
Come Away Home Reviews:
Expected more 
2009-12-09 - The movie had a good message overall, but I didn't care much for the girl's bad attitude and independence. I think it set a bad example for girls her age. Her mother seemed to just abandon her and I thought that was strange. With 2 girls ages 8 and 13, I am always trying to find films that really show innocence in pre-teen girls. I guess maybe that doesn't exist these days. I also did not care for the teenage romance in the film, these kids are just WAY too young to be worrying about the opposite sex and this movie encourages that in my opinion.
Pretty good acting, but we won't be watching it again anytime soon, in fact we might just get rid of it.
Family - Whats important 
2009-08-30 - This is a real reminder of what is important in the family, nicely done without preaching
Heart Warming
2009-01-31 - A feel good movie that can be watched together with your family. At times funny, thoughtful and cute. This film has a good story and a believable storyline. My family recommends this film.
Come Away Home dvd
2009-01-13 - This is a good movie that is appropriate for the whole family about the emotions and importance of family and friends.
Family Time Movie 
2008-05-27 - This is a nice safe movie to watch for the whole family. It's pretty good over all but some of the acting could have been better. It's nice though to have a film with a good message that your whole family can see. There really isn't much to offer on TV that is truly family friendly anymore.
