Movie Review
Grade: C+
Natalie Portman has starred in one blockbuster and two flops. The blockbuster, of course, was The Phantom Menace, which was hardly because of her, and her flops were Anywhere but Here and Where the Heart Is. She obviously doesn't have much star power, even though she is beautiful, talented, and able to attract some big names, such as Susan Sarandon in her last dud, and Joan Cusack, Sally Field, and Ashley Judd in this one (she sure is picking the good scripts as well, isn't she?).

User Comments & Reviews
where the heart is, by Lance
June 7, 2004
The movie was not the greatest they could have made it, but if you read the book you can understand the importance of each event that takes place. The tornado for instense was in the movie because it was a characters time to go and if they had not put that scence in the movie than the characters would have to get caught in some other crazy event to die.
