Does this film get into the darker aspects of Baum's personality?


...Or do they keep things light and fun.....for the kids?

Nope…
This film was made in the classic tradition of Disney/Hallmark/Lifetime/ABC Family made for TV movies. It’s so saccharine & sugary sweet, all the life’s been drained out of it, and what we’re left with is a man too perfect for words. Heartwarming, yes. True to life? Not so much.

That all said, I STILL enjoyed this movie, the cast, production & script are all top notch.

My, you're nosey, aren't you?
