Keeping secrets is difficult and, sometimes, unhealthy. Emily (Evan Rachel Wood) discovers a talent for keeping secrets early in life and deems the skill marketable enough to open her own neighborhood business. Emily is also an amazing violin player with high aspirations for a musical career. Secret-keeping proves lucrative at first, but eventually the burden weighs on Emily and affects her ability to concentrate, hurting her chances of making the local youth symphony. Resolving her dilemma requires the help of two new friends, her violin teacher, parents, and a fair amount of soul-searching. Eventually, Emily's journey leads to the dissolution of her business and a cathartic revelation of a major secret of her own. The moral of Emily's experiences: 'You can't keep secrets about yourself and live a true life,' and 'if you want to be close to someone, you can't keep secrets from them.' (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - Very good family movie
This is one of those movies that is great for the whole family, young to old. It has enough fresh comedy to keep you laughing, and the proper drama to grip you and feel the emotion that the writers intended. Purchased for my nieces and they enjoyed it a lot when we watched it as a family on movie night.
Rating:  - "Blue Velvet" for the Middle School Set
David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" starts with some great images: ideal suburbia - kids crossing the street, firemen waving as they go down the road on their truck, and a man watering his garden. Then the guy has a stroke and collapses. We are then treated to the best shot of the film: his dog playfully jumping around the squirting hose he continues to hold as a toddler ambles toward him. Then the camera moves down for a macro shot of the insect world in his lawn, introducing the film's theme that there ... Read More
Rating:  - Little Secrets? More like silly hollywood film
While this film was engaging on many fronts, I could not bring myself to enjoy it. It injected a fantasy world into the minds of our young children, synonomous with an opiate. While I do enjoy children's films, I found it was not up to par with the latest in children's technology (Spy Kids 3-D is a good example of this). The acting was paralled by Keanu Reaves - outright silly! The story was not compelling enough to bring me to the edge of my seat. I could not recommend this film to any family household. ...

Rating: - Worth watching over and over
I simply LOVED this movie. I enjoyed the acting, the story and the love of classical and orchestra music that was incorporated in the story. I enjoyed the little stories of the small children that were included throughout the movie and appreciated being able to watch a movie that not only could my children watch, but that I would enjoy with them. Don't miss it.

I watched this film a couple of years back and although it looks like an adult film, its actually more of a kids film, to be content. The movie title explains what its about obviously, so I aint gonna spoil it for people who aint seen it if you know what I mean! I thought iot was alright but it cannot beat kingdom hearts!
