Natalie Portman Movie:

Editorial Review:
Not to be confused with the 1990 comedy flop featuring Uma Thurman, this Where the Heart Is boasts a winning performance from Natalie Portman. Novalee Nation (Portman), a pregnant teenager from Tennessee, is bound for California with her worthless boyfriend, Willy Jack (Dylan Bruno). A pit stop at an Oklahoma Wal-Mart proves fateful when Willy Jack abandons her there. She secretly sets up camp at the megastore and spends her days meeting with kindly booster Sister Husband (Stockard Channing) and eccentric librarian Forney Hall (James Frain). Her life takes another turn after she gives birth in the store (clean up, aisle six!) and finds a best friend in sassy nurse Lexie Coop (Ashley Judd). Meanwhile, Willy Jack has found a talent agent (Joan Cusack) and tries to make some life changes of his own.

Where The Heart Is offers charming, folksy fun; homespun wisdom; and an obstacle course of plot development (if the Wal-Mart angle weren't enough, there's also a kidnapping, a tornado, and at least half a dozen other major events thrown in). Director Matt Williams, who produced the popular sitcoms Roseanne and Home Improvement, takes television's cut-to-commercial route to make giant leaps in space and time from scene to scene. It's disorienting, but the remarkable female cast (which includes Sally Field in a cameo) lends plausiblilty to the muddle, even when you don't think anything more could possibly happen. --Shannon Gee

Where the Heart Is [Region 2] Reviews:
Just like new and worked A-okay!
2009-11-10 - Movie was great and should help people to realize that promiscuity only caused problems which made resolving them (own their own) monumental. God can turn the bad to good at His will but wants us to ask. He doesn't force himself on His creation. We were given free will because He does love us.

One of my favorite movies
2009-10-09 - I LOVE EVERYTHING about this movie. It has drama, excitement, danger, love, humor, sadness, happiness, and great acting performances by everyone. My husband even sat through it and enjoyed it although he normally doesn't go for "chick" flicks. Before purchasing it I rented "Garden State" with Natalie Portman since there were great reviews. I didn't care for it - very quirky, unpolished, not very funny or heartwarming.

Where the Heart Is (DVD)
2009-09-29 - Order was recieved within a few days (4) I was shocked and happy. Although, this DVD was used, it is in perfect condition. Thanks for the excellent service!!

See it
2009-06-18 - If you don't think you like the type of movie you think this is see it anyway. I expected this movie to be a waste of time with a bit of eye candy thrown in but I was captivated from start to finish and even watched it a second time the same day. Sorry this is not one of those reviews where they tell you everything that happens in a movie you're about to see - you deserve all the pleasant surprises. See this film, preferably with someone you'd like to see smile.

Where the heart is
2009-05-27 - The DVD cover says that there's a spanish subtitle and the true is that there is no spanish subtitle. In the overall, the product had good quality.
