01/16/2017 I would be very curious to see what this movie was before Feature Films for Families awkwardly inserted the Christian-moral-compass grandmother character. It seems like a fun 80's romp with a heart, but Grandma just can't let those orphans get away with evading authorities and borrowing other peoples' cars without passing judgement on them. While decorating a cake with Precious Moments figurines. See more 10/12/2012 Perhaps my nostalgia is clouding my judgment, but I still love this film from my childhood when I rewatched it recently. It's a compelling story about four siblings whose mother has just died and are about to be separated and put into foster homes, but decide to run away to Arizona to find Uncle Jack and perhaps their father, and in the process get in all sorts of trouble (Like stealing cars and gas) and meet new people on their journey. This is still a heartfelt film since the acting is great, even from the child actors, making this film feel convincing. It can be a bit corny at times, but it's still an immensely enjoyable family film. See more 04/05/2011 OMG childhood favorite...... See more 02/22/2011 I cherish many fond memories from numerous viewings of this nice little movie about a group of siblings trying to survive an oppressive, uncaring world. See more 01/28/2010 Very bad acting and a cliche storyline make On Our Own hard to watch. See more 01/19/2010 Remeber seeing this as a second grader for a field trip to the movie theaters and then last night saw that my mom had it and decided to re-watch it. (In second grade I was so bored out of my mind watching this and the fact that the film melted twice while we were watching it didn't help any.) So the new conclusion...crappy acting, annoying repeated Osmond song throughout the entire movie, cheesy storyline, made for a movie that had a happy ending albeit very very predictable one. Don't think this one will be watched again by myself. See more Read all reviews
