Rating: - Goodnight Mister Tom
Good night Mister Tom my review

I would like to recommend, Goodnight Mister Tom because it's a very emotional story.
When I watched the DVD it was a thoroughly enjoyable and a good range of specialist language.
Based on the World War 2 time.

The charters are Tom, Willie, Zach, Sammy the dog, Mum and mrshartridge. Willie meets a boy called Zach but sadly Zach died because a Germans bomb. Willie's mum died because she drowned her, she was a mental women.

Rating: - Goodnight Mister Tom - Disturbing content
Whilst it may seem a charming story about a relationship forged between a young evacuee and a grumpy old man, beware. The DVD contains images of abuse and neglect which can be very upsetting to young viewers. My grand-daughter aged 7 was very disturbed by it. So much so that her school have since withdrawn it from their curriculum on the impact the second world war had on children at that time. I would advise parents of young children to preview it first and only then decide whether they think it is ... Read More

Rating: - It Does The Book Justice
This film truley is amazing, i love how Tom starts out seemingly old and grumpy but this young boy turns him in to a big softie really :P . I also feel for Willam when he turns up at Toms doorstep you really see the fear in his eyes of being left with and old scary man whos like a giant, its shows how so many evacuated children must have when they were really just left in the middle of nowhere with strangers, you see Willam and Tom blossom John Thaw is at his best and really makes the character shine ...

Rating: - amazing - fact.
i always remember this film. I first watched it on an awful quality VHS at my grandma's eight years ago, and so jumped at the chance of owning it on lovely DVD format!! All the feelings of how much i loved it came back the second i put it in the drive and i sat, mesmorised at 3 in the morning, remembering how it had made me feel all those years ago. A really emotional and powerful trip down memory lane, and a lovely performance by John Thaw, playing the stern but gently loveable Mr Tom. A treat for anyone ... Read More
