When Corporal John McBurney (Farrell), a Yankee, gets injured during the Civil War, he comes across a young girl named Amy (Oona Laurence), who takes him to an all girls' school to heal. While there, romantic flings start with several women who all eventually turn on McBurney due to false intentions.
Best thing about this film was Marie played by Addison Riecke. She was super cute and eased any tension that the film held with her cute face and acting skills.
Other than that the film sucked. Yup, I said it. It was terrible. For 3/4s of the film, I was falling asleep. There was nothing happening except everyone falling for the Yankee. There was no action, no drama, barely any romance. Ugh, I was dying.
Finally, towards the end it got interesting, but the way the film ended seemed like a bad choice. But then again, I'm sure that's how the book ended. Note to self: don't read the book.
2 popcorns, only because of good cinematography and that cute little girl.
