As an American Girl fan and collector I looked forward to watching this movie. The acting was great, the actors looked the part and it was lovely seeing all of the houses and such from that time period. What I didin't like is that they totally changed the order of more than 10 different scenes. They were all scrambled up and not anywhere near the order of the books. Also some quotes were also totally scrambled and were moved to different characters than who originally said them in the book. They also totally changed the ending with Jiggy Nye and it was really over done. All in all I gave the movie a 2 out of 5 stars. Some good things but overall the books were much better and the movie was scrambled up in every way.
