Featured review
Why was this made? It's Terrible!
Whats the point of this boring movie? I mean Shirley Temple had it so easy. What does she have to complain about anyway? ABC has been putting out some great movies like "Me and My Shadows: Life With Judy Garland" and "Anne Frank". Those two were great biographies of two people who really suffered. To me little Shirley seemed spoiled and annoying. It just wasted my Sunday night, which was my 18th birthday. Another reason i didn't enjoy this movie is because I am not a Shirley Temple fan at all, instead I am a big Judy Garland fan. Now Judy was a true star and at least she can act and sing a whole lot better than shirley. If you want to see a really good tv-movie about a star, watch "Me and My Shadows", not this pathetic excuse for a tv-movie.
