Sweet and Lovable
I found this movie to be very sweet and lovable. The character almost has a Pollyanna quality as she makes you like her instantly. John Schneider (of Dukes of Hazzard fame) does a nice job of being a doting father. Having been to Williamsburg, I was glad to see it nicely portrayed. The movie touches on some of the issues of the American Revolution and how to keep friendships despite opposing political views.
This is an excellent movie. We all liked it. I look forward to more in the series.

Great Family Film
This movie is great for the entire family. It shows values that seem to be slipping some these days. It also shows historical content that is immediately pre revolution. Felicity's family is very loving and supportive of her and give her the values she needs to become a wonderful young woman. I call this a "feel good" film because there are several places that are inspirational.

Wonderful, heart-warming, positive
My 9-year-old daughter and I love this movie. We think that it is beautiful, positive, and presents great values. We have seen all of the American Girl movies and have so enjoyed them. I am so glad to have movies like this to share with my daughter.

American Girl - Felicity DVD
If you are an American Girl fan, this DVD is a must. It is a great way to teach your daughter/granddaughter about American History. As a former 5th grade teacher, I would highly recommend it.

Four star movie!
Out of all the american girl movies, i'd have to say this ones my favorite. I really like the girl that plays Felicity. she is the perfect actor for her, because she acts just like Felicity does in the books. there were a few sad parts in the movie, but nothing extreme. I have to say, you did get bored a few times, and thats the only reason why i rate it four stars. hope i helped!!!!!

Great Movie for young girls
This is a heart warming story. Our Girl Scout troop watched it and immediately loved it, and Felicity herself. The movie has good moral values-- which most don't these days-- and 8-12 age group loves it. My daughter wants a "tea" dress like Felicity and I would much rather her have Felicity as her ideal than a Disney Princess or Barbie. She is portrayed as a real girl. She is believable. We have watched the movie many times. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great movie for pre-teen girls.

Well done and worth the money
As a 5th grade teacher and having visited Colonial Williamsburg last summer, I think this is a great video for 8-12 year-olds. It has good stories (directly from the books) that are both interesting to kids (girls AND boys) and fairly true to the times. My one real complaint about it is that it does not deal with the issue of slavery at all, and a family of Felicity's status would have definitely owned slaves. Other than that, I had good discussions with my students afterwards about issues of social status and how people of certain classes were expected to dress and act during Colonial times. It really helped my students get a better feel for the times we are studying, and brought up tensions leading up to the Revolution. Even my 6-year-old son enjoyed it!

Great AG Series
ALL American Girl movies are wonderful. My daughter and I (and even my son) loves to watch these when the come on the Hallmark Channel. My daughter received this dvd from her brother because Felicity is her favorite and her favorite era. Felicity reminds us about loving and believing in something that is more important than her self. She is not selfish, a great lesson for our young ones!!

Felicity an American Girl DVD
This is a fabulous family movie. I purchased it because my daughter is a huge American Girl fan, and my entire family (including Grandparents) sat together for the entire movie. It gives incite into what the younger generation went through during the times leading up to the American Revolution. If you love history and want to be able sit down with the entire family get this movie.
