More ABC Afterschool Special than feature film.

Wades again and again into the kind of ordinary territory befitting its muted if glossy made-for-TV look and its tinkling, whimsically modern piano score.
08/22/02
Begins in the vein of a Joe Dante suburban satire but ends like a nightmare of Chris Columbus poppycock.

The shock troops of the Cinema Without Limits army are unlikely to buy many tickets, but those who do will probably see the thing as sanctimonious pabulum -- even for its target audience of adolescents.

It somewhat breaks the tone when Emily admits, 'Mom is very anal,' but then Emily is anal, and so -- nicely -- is the movie.

As written by Bantam Books refugee Jessica Bardones, Little Secrets could easily be called Amelia Bedelia Has a Something Up Her Sleeves.

Good intentions don't necessarily make for compelling storytelling.

Sugary sweet, heavily didactic and relentlessly uplifting, it should probably come with a warning that diabetics could be endangered by watching it.

These character live in an unblemished neighborhood, where everyone has bite-sized problems that can easily be resolved with a few kind words, a hug, and some tears.

Every plot development is telegraphed from a mile away, and every character acts in the most obvious manner possible.
09/06/03
It's a fable that descends rapidly into nonsense, a long lie in which the moral theme can be reduced to 'lying is bad.'
08/23/02
Treu scores his finest points off the little kids' unfailing cuteness, but the film's broad performances and heavy-handed moralizing strike a note of condescension.
08/20/02
One can hardly argue with the desire to make a wholesome movie for families that extols honesty and decency, but it all comes too easily, too superficially.
08/22/02
Top CriticSimplistic, formulaic and painfully sweet.
