btm1 A number of other IMDb reviewers hinted that "Little Secrets" was very good only for ages 10 to 18. Well, I enjoyed watching it on cable TV even though I'm more than 50 years past that age range. I consider it to be a "coming of age" genre film. It has a good story to tell with neat twists, and good music. The fact that it is also sneaks in a couple of morality messages is the only part that seemed to me to may be oriented to teens and pre-teens, which did not distract from the emotional feeling I got from the story. Perhaps some adults also could realize how stupid and possibly harmful some of their behaviors are. As often happens with me with good stories, I was teary by the end of the film.As Micah Schow, who played Gregory on "Little Secrets," wrote in his own IMDb review, "Since this movie is full of first-time child actors you cant expect everyone to have the greatest acting skills in America." But the performances were most of the time pretty good, particularly the principals.One minor quibble I have, the film director or editor should have shortened the break dance that Philip went into when he became deliriously happy. Perhaps the scene was kept long as a favor to the talented young performer (Michael Angarano) playing that part.

Garry1209 It was just fantastic one of the cutest movies i have seen. First of all the persons who don't like this movie aren't seeing the movie from 14 yr old point of view. A very good children movie, love the acting of Evan Rachel Wood(Emily). Her acting while playing violin was the best and Liked the music as well. Michael Angarano(Filip)also was very good. Well i have read comments of some on this movie saying David Gallagher (David) should have not got together with (Emily). I would say the director was right in getting David with Emily instead of Filip. as Emily was shown being attracted to David from the start. I like the scene where Emily sees Filip doing the job of Secret keeper, the dialogues were good in that scene. well i liked the kid who keeps the kittens. A very Satisfying movie.

rexdog9 I have 2 kids, 5 & 7. My 7-year old picked this one out at the video store while I was digging for blood-and gut stuff after they fall asleep. I am used to yawning and catnapping thru horrible Japanese cartoons, Disney offal (how can David Spade offend in equal measure without even using his gen-ZZZ, I'm-so-smart I'm-Bored ((Wow David! You MUST be smart!)) persona, by using only his voice? Perhaps he DOES have some talent) or cartoon network SCREAMFESTS, all supposedly aimed at kids while cramming greed and excess down their eager throats. I would rather do this some nights, in spite of the side effects, than willingly enter into a fight over a kid movie. Single parents, you know the drill. And Friday night is Movie Night at our place.And I'll confess I drifted off during the movie, since it was the second of two (Neverending Story 2, which is BAAAAD), but not before dully noticing that it was well-acted. On second and third watching I am entering comment-land. I didn't find a weak performance. I loved the story line. All the characters have some depth, do not readily lapse into clichéd kidspeak (gnarly, like, so, overit, etc) but actually verbalize cogent thoughts, and the movie is filled with weird kids being treated normally instead of being ostracized or teased for not fitting in with the DisneyKind. Bad fiddling? Who cared or knew. My impression of those who actually can play the violin well is that you've lassoed some life more fulfilling than sitting around watching kid movies. Myself, I chose guitar, and still wouldn't fault the most amateur airplayer for missing a lick or two. This movie is good stuff. Rent it and enjoy.

duckyfan This was the best movie, I watched it with my girlfriends at a sleepover. Evan Rachel Wood was awesome. I was hoping that she would choose fill it up. But she didn't. oh well. anyway great movie. I liked the kids, my favorite was Isabelle, she was so funny, and cute. The best part was when she found out that JOrdan was coming to meet her or Jenny her sister anyway. I think Michael Angarano is so cute, and he was the funniest one, the girl with the cats was adorable, and I liked Mikey and Gregory too, I also thought that the part where she fell off the roof was kind of scary.
