I never read the book, but this movie made me want to! I have heard that it is different from the book, but that is the way it always is. Michael Landon Jr. did a good job on this one. I really enjoy the children's acting-- they do a great job. Lisa Pepper is pretty good as well, not impressed by her boyfriend though, but I guess the point got across. This is well worth your time to get and watch, and you might even watch it again! When Sarah (Lisa Pepper) becomes legal guardian of her sister's Amish-raised children, she takes them back to the big city and uses their story to advance her waning writing career. But when her new brood learns of the exploitation, they demand to return home. Will Sarah turn from her selfish ways and ultimately do what's best for the children? Directed by Michael Landon Jr., this inspiring story also stars Elliott Gould and Tess HarperRead full review
With much of the Christian movie-making today, the story lines are great but they lack in production value and acting ability, usually due to the lack of big budget. Myself being a Christian, I long for the day that Christian movie houses will be able to operate on the same level as Hollywood as far as quality. Saving Sarah Cain has taken a step forward in this direction. The movie looks great--picture quality, camera work, sound, a quality score (not just all Christian contemporary artist 'top ten' music), and the acting is overall top notch. The story has been done before in many different ways but Saving Sarah Cain does a very nice with working in Christian influences into the 'Country mouse, City mouse' theme. If you are a Christian, please buy this movie, not only to get a great movie but to support a Christian movie house that has taken a step to creating high quality movies that give a great message. I have a hard time giving an 'excellent' for anything but this is more than just 'good'.Read full review
I was hesitant to buy this movie since I love the book by Lewis and thought no one could make a film to do it justice. I also live in Western PA among Amish and know many well. I didn't think they could be portrayed right either. I was so wrong! Landon did an excellent job! I cried! This movie is so touching! The acting is EXCELLENT! The story of redemption shines through clearly. I have to buy this movie for many who feel like Sarah in the beginning...hurt by life and very hard toward God and others...this movie shows the way back home to God & family... We need more movies like this!

This is a very solid story, the characters are believable, and you learn something about another way of life (Amish). It is refreshing to watch a movie that isn't all about romantic story lines. This one is about a whole life, not just a single relationship. The movie has absolutely NO offensive language or scenes, and there is nothing objectionable about the story line. If you appreciate great, clean, truly family oriented movies, you will LOVE this one. It will give you opportunities to open up dialogue with your family about the different issues faced by the characters. It is nice to be able to watch a movie that not only entertains, but can add some conversation about it afterward. You will not be disappointed!
