Samantha: An American Girl Holiday (DVD, 2004)

Long lasting locket. Not real big on the movie. My life is sappy enough

The chain is a 16" chain, fits children well but I still wear it as an adult. I purchased this set to replace the locket I've had for 13 years because the top of the pendant had worn through. I got the set for Christmas when I was 11 - wore the necklace first just for special occasions and then more often as the years went by til I was wearing it prettymuch every day and just last month noticed it was hanging by a literal thread of the metal. I was glad to find an exact replacement so easily. So many people have asked over the years if this was my grandmother's locket or some kind of heirloom. Nope, just a special gift from childhood that grew up with me.

Totally sappy side note: I loved the look of the locket but never put pictures in it because I hadn't settled on what picture to use. I decided when I was 17 that when someone really, very special was in my life for awhile, then I would put his photo inside. So I waited, different guys became close and then not, til there was one, who I knew not long after we started dating was the guy I was gonna marry. One time after he informed me that I was really important to him, I shared how special he was to me, and how I'd been saving a place in my locket for a special guy and no one fit the bill before him. We didn't get engaged for another 8 months but when I finally found a website to shrink my photos to the right size, I got a photo of us and one of him. And now when people ask what's in my locket, there's something to show them.Read full review

Historical Movie for Girls

This historical movie differs from modern American Girl movies in that: obviously, the period costumes/sets/plots; no singing; less overt feminism; the main character is orphaned. "Samantha" should entertain girls with its interesting sets, scenes of happiness, coping with sadness, and the friendship between Samantha and Nellie. Not all of the plot has to make sense because this is a kids movie, and happy endings are important in today's world. The acting won't wow you but part of that is the period dialogue. I personally like Grandmary's mansion and the dirty cobblestone street scenes just for how beautiful and realistic they feel. This movie promotes loyalty, hope, sacrificing for family, doing the right thing when it's hard, and many more virtues. "Samantha" will bring smiles--and maybe, wishes for vintage-style dresses!Read full review
