Betty White Starring In Annie's Point On DVD This Week

What I Can Tell You:

I was expecting loads of tears. When the email came from Vivendi Entertainment asking if I wanted to review Annie's Point my answer was obviously yes (hence this email), but I asked if it came with a box of tissues too. 

Thankfully, I didn't need the tissues. This movie was a feel good movie more than anything else. As someone who cries over everything and anything, I stand 100% behind that statement. 

Betty White plays Annie an artist who recently lost her husband. Her son Richard, took over the business and is worried about his mom's forgetfulness and wants to relocate her to a retirement home.

When Annie hears that she is in need of a heart bypass she decides to tie up some loose ends. 

1. Come through on a promise to spread her husband's ashes over Annie's Point.

2. Force her son to really see who his daughter is.

3. Go back to the house she and her husband built many years ago and get a "Lucky 19" Gold Liberty Coin the place in the wall. 

She grabs her granddaughter Ella (a singer, songwriter who is afraid to sing in public) and coerces her to drive to California. They get the gold coin, work to make money for the trip (since her son Richard shut down the finances to make them go back home), get into trouble with the law and spend time in jail, reunite with Annie's long lost brother and finally reunite with Richard who was able to hear his daughter sing when Annie called him and put the phone down for him to hear. 

Thankfully the movie doesn't get to sappy. Annie accomplishes what she set out to do with dignity and wit.

No surprises but a great message and who couldn't use a feel good movie once in a while? Who doesn't like Betty White?

When I started researching this movie, I found that many people were praying that Hallmark would put it out on DVD. Well, the people have spoken and it is available at Amazon now.
