Movie Review: The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn
My most recent Netflix movie was The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn. In fact, it is finishing up while I am typing this...
The description from the Netflix envelope:
"Small-town farmer Noah Dearborn (Sidney Poitier) lives an uncomplicated existence till shady developer Christian Nelson (George Newbern) tries to usurp his family's land. Nelson will do anything to take Noah's property, including hiring a shrink (Mary-Louise Parker) to have him declared insane. What Nelson doesn't anticipate is Noah forming an unbreakable bond with the doctor that proves stronger than anything the land baron can dish out."
This is a story of how we think our modern way of life is best and how our 'meaningful helpfulness' can be very misguided. It is also a story of the corporation versus the 'little guy' and the 'little guy wins'. Sidney Poitier still does excellent work! If you want a movie that will warm your heart, I recommend this one.
This movie is PG and it is excellent. I give it 5 stars!
I LOVE that movie! I first saw it on television, and enjoyed it so much. I completely agree with your review ;)
