The whole is a bit on the wan side, not a lot of entertainment value, a nice moment here and there, but nothing big or unexpected or even fun.

Consensus: Little Secrets is wholesome entertainment for the kids, but also rather bland.

Reviews for Little Secrets
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.

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
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.

Top CriticLike drinking a glass of milk after swearing off Sprite and vodka. It doesn't have much bite, but it's refreshing in its own way, and it's certainly good for you.

Zeroes in on the interesting and not often explored topic of the central role of secrets in the private lives of children.

...harmless, wholesome and just barely winning enough to overcome its fantasy-suburban, Norman Rockwell nature.
08/21/02
Sugary sweet, heavily didactic and relentlessly uplifting, it should probably come with a warning that diabetics could be endangered by watching it.

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
A winsome, welcomely earnest respite from the louder, crasser fare aimed at kids these days.
08/17/02
Little Secrets has enough problems to keep it from being a great film, but with so few quality films out there for teens it a strong contender in a weak field.

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