Molly, a spunky heroine in the wildly popular American Girl series of books and characters, is a typical tween living in an atypical time: 1943, the height of World War II. In An American Girl on the Home Front, Molly and her friends are dimly aware of the war and the occasional hardship it can mean, but Molly (played with grace and bravado by Maya Ritter), like most kids, really hasn’t had occasion to pay attention (”She just doesn’t understand rations, Mom,” her sister snipes). This film follows Molly as the war begins to hit home; her father is shipped overseas and her mom (a delightful Molly Ringwald) becomes a temporary Rosie the Riveter. Molly bravely rolls with the punches, yet her life is still leavened with fun, like learning to tap dance for the local Miss Victory competition. Then a young refugee from England, Emily (Tory Green), comes to stay, and Molly’s, and young viewers’, consciousness is raised. As always with American Girl heroines, Molly is a great role model with strong values, but never a goody-two-shoes. The period touches, including clothes, movie-reels, and background music, are well done too. Extras include a compelling documentary, Uncle Sam Wants You… to Tap Dance, featuring an interview with Mitzy Scott, an 88-year-old former USO dancer and hostess, relaying her personal history of dancing at home and with soldiers on leave, making something personal and dear to her–dance–into the ultimate patriotic act. –A.T. Hurley

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - My review of Molly
It is hard to rate this product since I haven’t viewed it yet, but I will base my rating on the condition in which it arrived and the time frame in which I received it. I haven’t played the movie yet since it is a Christmas gift for my 10 year old daughter. The product arrived in the mail fairly quickly, but I thought I had ordered a brand new movie and discovered that the original wrapping was not on it, leading me to believe that maybe the movie had been used. I can’t say what the quality of … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Step back in time…
I loved this movie for my 5 year old daughter. She learned what times were like in the past for our country and true family values.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front is based on the excellent books by Valerie Tripp, about an 8-year-old girl growing up during World War 2. In the books she is excited to be doing her part, and while she wishes the war was not happening, she realizes that everyone on the home front needs to do their part to help the soldiers fighting in the war.

After the two other wonderful American Girl movies, this movie just doesn’t cut it. In the books she tries to find the good part of everything; … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Molly, an American Girl Hero
If you are an American Girl fan, this DVD is a must. It is a great way to teach your daughter/granddaughter about American History. This movie takes you back to WWII and a family faced by the challenges of the war, both abroad and on the home front. Each main character in the American Girl series faces real-life problems and models strength of character. As a former 5th grade teacher, I would highly recommend it.
