Where to begin... This movie is so flawwed its not funny.. Even Richard Carpenter has come out and stated that " it was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. I wish I have never done it.." and that its is more or less " 90 minutes of docu-drama.. With about 5 minutes of actual truth in it.."

One of, if not the best, bio-pic on the internet (U-Tube) Thank you for a great but sad story

Not the best film, but not bad by any means. Better than the 1987 barbie doll one.

@APRIL62318 All I am saying is that once you read the book you will understand that Agnes Carpenter made Joan Crawford look like Carol Brady...

[carpentersfan2010]

@APRIL62318 Little Girl Blue contains quotes from Karen's closest friends and confidants. People like Olivia Newton-John, Dorothy Hamill and Cherry Boone-O'Neil along with Eleven Wallace (The Carpenters personal secretary) and Karen's two closest friends Karen Ramon and Frenda Leffler, who where both witness to Agnes' complete disregard for her daughter.

@carpentersfan2010 Im not reading something that bashes a dead woman she loved her daughter and they are in heaven together!

[carpentersfan2010]

@APRIL62318 I highly reccomend that you read the book "Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter." by Randy Schimt.. If you want to know Karen's real story that is the book to read, once your finished it you will understand exactly what I mean when I said Agnes Carpenter was not the best motherin the world...

[APRIL62318]

@carpentersfan2010 Agnes came from an Era where girls were raised to be in the home not in rock and roll she loved her kids
