Directed by Michael Landon, Jr., Saving Sarah Cain is a sweet film with an Afterschool Special vibe about a family thrown together by unfortunate circumstances. When her Amish sister dies, Sarah (Lisa Pepper, What About Brian) is forced to question her priorities. Should she move to Pennsylvania where the children feel safe within their Amish community, or should she relocate them to Oregon where she has a successful career as a newspaper columnist? Presuming that the children are more adaptable than she is, Sarah opts for the latter and gives it a shot at making the kids feel at home. But the five orphans have a difficult time trying to fit in to the modern world. They also are still grieving the loss of their mother, whose ways were much different than that of their more abrupt aunt. Like his father, the younger Landon has a deft touch at creating scenarios that are heart-tugging, but not too maudlin. The fish-out-of-water concept isn't a new one, but it's executed well by both Pepper and the young actors portraying the children. Though the film tries to force a surprise ending, the outcome is expected and welcome. And while no one has a miraculous change of heart, the viewer can see that the sextet is creating its own kind of family--one that works for within the frame of their unique circumstances. --Jae-Ha Kim

 Saving Sarah Cain September 1, 2008
Great movie, wonderful acting by everyone. Recommended for everyone.
Lets have a sequel....
Family Friendly Movie, no blockbuster though August 25, 2008
We visited Amish country this year on vacation. I thought this would be a good movie for my son to watch to see what it would be like to be Amish since he doesn't fully understand. It also came recommended along with Beverly Lewis books. It was a very wholesome movie, enjoyable. But the acting wasn't as great. I did enjoy the story line, wouldn't mind seeing other movies as well.
 Not authentic Amish and too schmaltzy June 29, 2008

I did many research papers on the Amish when I was in college. This movie is so far removed from the way the Amish really live, with the exception of an occasional Amish 'slang' word thrown in here and there for good measure. The accents were AWFUL, the mannerisms, the way of life, etc., were way off the true reality of the Plain Folk. I almost threw up when the boy said, 'We're not in Lancaster County anymore.' I could hear Dorothy's famous line, 'We're not in Kansas anymore.' It was a struggle just to finish watching.

I have not read the book, but this is an amazing movie! It's about a New York city girl who brings her 5 Amish nieces and nephews to live with her. My entire family fully enjoyed it!
