Savannah is a great family movie choice... It stresses the value of friendship despite society's pressures. It's also directed with style and genuine affection, making every frame as unforgettable as the last.

Despite some fine performances, the film has difficulty finding a consistent tone, and the well-intentioned script emphasizes melodrama and sentimentality.

Strong performances and exquisite, breathtaking cinematography barely compensate for a pedestrian, underwhelming screenplay.
