Great submitted by chloeandrews on June 19, 2011, 11:46am A book with mystery around every corner. I couldn't out it down.

Nice adaptation submitted by ValerieL on July 10, 2011, 9:04pm "The Secret Garden" is my #1 favorite book of all time, so when it comes to other adaptations of the story, I tend to be fairly critical. However, this adaptation was fairly well done. They definitely changed some things from what they were in the book, but I think they still did a fairly good job of it. Kate Maberly does well at playing Mary the brat and then Mary who comes alive with the garden. Heydon Prowse also plays a good job at being the invalid who's also a spoiled little brat.

There are things in the book that are missing from the movie that I would've liked to have seen included, but all in all it was well done.

A book can be more exciting submitted by zhao on July 18, 2011, 6:17pm Good start but gets a little bit boring. Moves slowly. The story can be laid out in a more exciting way.

Slow Start submitted by andreahubert on July 1, 2012, 11:00am This movie has a slow start, but is a great movie anyway.

Very Nice! submitted by Joehac02 on July 31, 2013, 12:23pm This was one of the best films that I have ever seen. I feel that. It was a good adaptation of the book.

5 stars
