A HOME OF OUR OWN (Theatrical Release Canada 1993)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

A Home of Our Own—classic family film—deserves place in the family home video library due to its repeated emphasis that obtaining good life relies on struggle, perseverance, extreme heart, and abiding love/loyalty for one’s own. No whining in this film...no belief in life relies on a free lunch...it’s story has been well directed by Director Tony Bill. How the real family works and succeeds by staying together and pulling together through thick and thin times becomes a terrific ode to how to develop a life and reputation worth having.
