Home Sweet Homicide Audience Reviews

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
GManfred Add me to the list of viewers who caught this one on Million Dollar Movie in the '50's. I really enjoyed it then, thought of it often and always wondered how to get hold of a copy and where to find one.After all these years I finally bought a DVD, put it on and clomped down memory lane. It was good to see it again but I didn't enjoy it as much - I think too many years passed, or maybe I just outgrew it. It is still a good family picture but there's not much of a mystery here. The picture needed some more suspects for mystery fans and there was a great deal of what seemed like excess footage - this film moves at ice-cutter speed and could have used a firmer editing hand. And I didn't realize the kids carried so much of the picture.The cast was excellent, no complaint there, but all in all I found the experience bittersweet. Sometimes I wish I was 15 again.
Cal-16 Cute story that combines comedy with mystery. The kids are great little actors, aren't they? But, phenobarbital!!!! What a shame that Barbara Whiting didn't have more scenes. She and Peggy Ann were such a great team in "Junior Miss" and I was hoping they'd be cast together in a similar way for this film. While this was a terrific movie and I enjoyed all 3 of the siblings, I think Hollywood shot itself in the foot by not using the Barbara-and-Peggy duo to its best advantage.
caro803 I remember seeing this movie on the Million Dollar Movie. I think my sister and I saw it every night and day that it showed. On the weekend it was on several times a day. It was one of our favorite movies. We have been trying to find out if it is on video or who owns the rights to it. I dont understand, why it has not been on T.V. I think it was a real classic and would really like a video of this, or at least find out if it will be shown on T.V. at all, and when. If you have any idea who we can contact please, someone let me know. My sister and I enjoyed this movie and talk about it all the time. We would appreciate any help we can get in locating this film.
ETicket I've seen this film a few times but it's been years and I'd kill to find a copy of it. It's tremendously charming. The kids are terrific -- led by the wonderful Peggy Ann Garner. A really enjoyable 'B' pic that is not available on video. If it turns up at all it's on the Late Late Show. Stay up for this one. You'll be glad you did.
