This was fun and entertaining and the plot centers on Orchard House. A lot of the events portrayed are based on the novel. The sisters' personalities are also well crafted. The casting was good.
The movie was a better than other adaptations I've seen.

A lot better than I expected!
Pleasant Surprise
I didn't really expect to like this but had to watch it because Little Women is my favorite book. After getting over my self-righteous anger about Jo being a blonde and the cringe-worthy early scene at the Halloween party, I began to appreciate the nods to events in the book and the creative way the writers modernized everything. And at least the plot is not the typical "girl goes home for Christmas and dumps rich, arrogant fiancé for sweet hometown boy." I also liked most of the casting found myself smiling as I watched.
Definitely doesn't compare to the book, but enjoyable to watch.
Needed some refining
Its hard to screw up a movie when the template is "Little Women" but they sure do come close. Its is a modern adaption and I can see the reasoning for doing this. It has been done several by theatrical films (Clueless was an adaption of Emma) however this TV-movie fails on several fronts.
In this film all these "Little Women" are in their 20's and still live at home. In this adaption all of the "March Women" go bonkers when "Mom Decides to sell the family home". What was strange was the script has them still acting with the maturity of JR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS instead of 20 something women.
This production should have had Joe a lesbian and her editor a woman.
If you never read "Little Women" shame on you. If you have then you will see how this movie fails.
If you never read or seen "Little Women" then chances are you might like this. Plus chances are you also love "The Kardashians"
