Raising Helen (2004)

Cast: Kate Hudson (Helen Harris), John Corbett (Pastor Dan Parker), Joan Cusack (Jenny Portman), Hayden Panettiere (Audrey Davis), Spencer Breslin (Henry Davis), Abigail Breslin (Sarah Davis)
For complete cast, see IMDb's Raising Helen page.

Far from Oscar-winning, but Raising Helen was a really cute movie about a single woman whose life is turned upside down when she is given custody of her sister's children when her sister and sister's husband die in a car crash.

I was surprised by how touching this movie was. I thought it would be too sappy to be touching, but it was very well done. The cast is wonderful and the story is cute. Definitely a good idea for a rental. With no special effects, you won't be missing anything by not seeing it on the big screen.

Grade: B
