WHERE THE HEART IS (2000) - ♦♦

Directed by - Matt Williams

Written by - Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel (based on a novel by Billie Lets)

Starring - Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing, Joan Cusack

"A pregnant woman who became a superstar after giving birth in a WalMart falls in love with the librarian in a small town. The originality runs out very quick in Where the Heart is, a film that soon becomes doomed to the same old clichéd structure as countless other films. The redeeming factor is the likeability of Natalie Portman in the film’s central role. Nevertheless, this is the usual praise be to conventionality chick flick set in small town America."
