A Home of Our Own (1993)

People are voting emotionally.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Blistering performances.

This was a very good movie that I enjoyed. It is about a mother who doesn't have much money but she has six kids and works hard. The story is real and touching, that could happen to anyone.Both Kathy Bates and Edward Furlong did an outstanding job in their roles. Actually, everyone did.The story was well told very well and had a lot of heartfelt realism to it. The film shows that If you work hard then you can achieve your dreams.If you want a honest family drama, then please see this movie, it is so worth your time!I give 'A Home of Our Own' a 7/10

I know a lot of folks talked about this movie being so heartwrenching, and at time a tear jerker, but this movie is as close to my childhood as I can imagine. We weren't quite as poor, but I really grew up in a half-finished house and we were pretty tight on money. We never finished our house, but my mom sent three kids to damn good colleges and private schools while supporting us on a teacher's salary.And Kathy Bates nailed it just right. I think that this movie portrays a lot of things about people who are struggling to get by, and it does it in a way that is very evenly balanced. I mean, her character is mostly sympathetic, but she shuts people out too. She's proud to a fault. She wants so much to do it all on her own, that she doesn't seem to realize just how much help she needs. That sense that she is all alone in it; that's how we felt. I'm sure that's how my parents felt. I liked how she found friends who knew how to handle her pride and still help her. I loved this movie but it is hard for me to watch! I never got nails for Christmas, though!I think the bit about the disclaimer that this is all fiction is just the standard CYA language the lawyers put in at the end of every movie. There's lots of novels that are "fiction" that are true.

I would like to say that today was the second time I have seen this movie on Television AND I LOVE IT!!! This movie is very exact with the times 60's and very heart felt... I was overwhelmed at times with emotion... So, If you are a women watching this movie for the first time be prepared to Cry, Laugh, & sometimes flintch...The Mother is a very prideful person that has a lot of hopes and dreams and that sometimes get's in the way of her children's lives... This is also a story of Courage, Hope, And family Values... I recommend this movie to anyone who has ever thought they could not make it on there own raising children.HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I remember when i first saw a glimps of this movie on cable, and i hunted it down until i saw it all, and let me tell you this movie is great, i couldnt stop laughing from begining to end, the christmas scene is classic, the look on those faces were pricless so priceless i was on the floor in stitches, i reccomend this movie to any who wants a good laugh.
