| The American Girl collection of books, dolls, and accessories makes its film debut in this inaugural title featuring bestselling character Samantha, in a live-action holiday story set in 1904. AnnaSophia Robb plays Samantha Parkington, a poised yet playful 9-year-old who lives with her wealthy grandmother (Mia Farrow) in a country estate after the untimely death of her parents. Still grieving her loss, Samantha takes comfort in her friendships with new pal Nellie, a servant girl, and her dashing Uncle Gard (Jordan Bridges), a successful businessman. When Uncle Gard marries Cornelia (Rebecca Mader), Samantha is reluctant to embrace this female "intruder" until she spends three months with the newlyweds in New York City. In time, Samantha grows to trust and admire Cornelia, a spirited suffragette. Emboldened by Cornelia's example, Samantha takes her own courageous risks to improve the plight of some young orphans. This superbly produced film provides a glimpse into America during the Industrial Revolution, while showcasing the promising talents of young Robb.

I have been a big fan of American Girl since 2002. I became interested in the American Girl books in 2004. I was so excited to find out they were making a movie of Samantha! The story is great. They did great combining alll the books. AnnaSophia Robb and Mia Farrow both did a good job. I was surprised to find out that it was my brother's favorite movie! Buy this movie if you like American Girl, Samantha, or AnnaSophia Robb.

I must agree with Brian Mustain review (hope I spelled that right) I am a guy who also will cry at some movies I normally do not like period movies! I had never heard of Samantha. But it didn't matter in this production.
I really enjoyed this, it touched my heart.
Share this movie with your entire family!

I love American Girl even before this movie came out. I descovered American Girl when I turned ten. My sister is 21 years old and used to read the American Girl books, she indroduced them to me and I fell in love with the Samantha books. Now I am 12 and I have all the book sets of all the girls and cant get enuogh of them! I was so exited when I heard this movie was coming out and my best friend and I made this a holiday. We watch it all the time and is just as great as the books. This movie is great for the whole family. And I will always cry at the end of the movie, for such a happy ending!

I've been a fan since 1997! I was 7 years old when I first recieved two American Girlsfrom my great-grandma for me and my twin sister: Felicity(for me) and Samantha(for my sis). And to think they both have movies! I have the whole collection now and have read every book created including History Mysteries and Girls of Many Lands. I've seen all Angelina Ballerina episodes. I'm very pleased with this movie. This was a pure masterpiece. I loved the AG Place, and the play, so the movie took me by surprise way back last March when I found out in Press releases. They found perfect actors and actresses and the movie was how I pictured Samantha's everyday life. This movie was wonderful! My great-grandmother simply adored it!
