Dear Frankie
This touching and humorous movie has earned the raves of critics and won the hearts of audiences everywhere! To spare the feelings of her fatherless boy, Lizzie (Emily Mortimer -- Disney's THE KID) secretly authors letters from his "father" that detail seafaring adventures from around the world. But she cannot maintain this illusion forever. Torn between exposing the truth and protecting her son, Lizzie gets more than anyone bargained for when she hires a handsome stranger (Gerald Butler -- THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE) to play the role of a lifetime! Winner at both the Heartland Film Festival and the Seattle International Film Festival, this entertaining motion picture is sure to touch your heart! more

Favorite movie
This is such a sweet, dear movie. I didn't see it until a few months ago and I can't believe that it wasn't advertised more when it came out. It has become one of my favorite movies. I think that I have probably seen it 25 times. The characters are very real and the acting is subtle and very...

Glasgow....the bright side...
Anything that comes out of Scotland, esp. Glasgow,(i.e. Craig Ferguson, etc.) is exceptional and this film does not dissapoint. Loved the inside look into a country that is romanticized via Edinburgh and the casting was surprising. My only issue is that the paranoia was overdone with Lizzie's...

Heartwarming and beautiful
I know most will want to rent this movie to view it first, but trust everyone of us who has seen it, and just buy it. It's such a great movie. I wish they would have promo'ed it better here in the US, because this movie would have gotten at the least an Oscar nomination. Such a great piece of...

Outstanding

Dear Frankie
This was a wonderful movie. All the performances were first rate. Emily Mortimer was very good as the mother. Frankie was totally believable as the deaf child. Gerard Butler as the Stranger was great. Can't think of anyone better for this role. The grandmother and best friend were also very good....

This is a movie that's worth every penny!
I had never heard of this movie until a few weeks ago, and can't imagine how it didn't get Oscar buzz in 2005. Maybe it did, but I sure don't remember hearing about it. If you're a fan of Gerard Butler, you know his versatility in playing different roles, but his acting in this movie outshines...
