AboutNell Minow Expertise Movies, especially classic movies, current movies, family movies, and movies for children.
Experience I am the movie critic for Beliefnet and radio stations across the country. I have written about movies for USA Today, Parents, Family Fun, Child, Slate, and Daughters, and am the weekly movie critic for twenty radio stations across the US and in Canada and write weekly parental advisories and some movie reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times and the Kansas City Star. I have appeared on Fox Morning News, the ABC Evening News, CBS This Morning, and NPR, and been profiled in the NY Times, Washingtonian, Chicago Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune. My book, The Movie Mom's Guide to Family Movies, was published by Avon in April 1999 and is now in its second edition. I can answer questions about movies for special interests, especially family concerns, handling questions from kids like "What do I do when he says everyone else has seen it?" to "My daughter got nightmares from a movie --how can I help her?" or "Why does my child want to see the DVD over and over?" to "What's the deal with Pokemon?" I am pretty good with trivia questions about movies, too, not as good with made-for-TV movies or miniseries.

Question I'm not sure when it was made but say 5-10 years back, I saw a movie on television and really liked it. It started with a young boy from a poor family, he gets a job working for this rich elderly lady doing chores for her. There is a young girl staying with this woman at her mansion/estate and the boy learns to dance with the young girl (this is where my memory is a little spotty) At the end of the movie they are adults and he's an artist/photographer I don't remember how it ends if they end up together or what. As I said it was a while ago when I saw it. Have you seen this movie I'm talking about? If so What Is the Title?
I would be ever so grateful.
Thanks
Answer I believe you are thinking of "Great Expectations." If it is the modern-day version you are thinking of, that is the one with Ethan Hawke and Gwenyth Paltrow. But earlier versions based on the Charles Dickens novel are set in Victorian times. I hope that's it!
