Rain (codeblack)

I never knew about this V.C. Andrews story. Movie was interesting and probably reflects some peoples life.

Rain. Also the name of the 4 book series from V. C. Andrews. This was a very enjoyable movie. Brooklyn Sudano (Donna Summer's daughter) really captured the heart, soul, and essence of this amazing young woman. All of V.C. Andrews women are amazing, be they young naive women who grow into astounding adults or the evil grandmothers who always, deep down, have a heart, even if they hide it well.Faye Dunaway was brilliant. I can't imagine a better choice for this movie. Robert Loggia was incredible. I have to admit I really came to hate the villian who blackmailed and then tried to kill Rain. A different twist from the book, but superbly worked into the movie. You always have to hate someone in a V.C. Andrews novel / movie!Why this was not released in theatres is beyond me. There's a lot of crap that gets released and then fades away to DVD. This movie was not given the star quality it deserved. Yes, the "sequel" inside the movie answered some questions but really left me wanting more, more! Shame on Pocket Books for not publishing this as a full length VCA novel. Megan was really fascinating!The screen play was by Andrew Neiderman who is also the VCA ghostwriter. You've seen Mr. Neiderman's work before in The Devil's Advocate, an adaption of his own fine novel. Now, we all have to keep our fingers crossed for a remake of the disappointing Flowers in the Attic movie! LONG LIVE VCA STORIES AND MOVIES!

I love this movie. Rain is the daughter every mother hopes for: talented, intelligent, sweet, kindhearted, considerate and has excellent manners. She is also a very beautiful young lady. This is a touching story with great music. Donna Summers' daughter, Brooklyn Sudano, is excellent as Rain Arnold, the young girl who overhears a conversation which will change her life forever. Tragedy leads to her having to leave her D.C. ghetto home for the wealthier world of the Hudsons. It's not easy yet Rain has what it takes to fit in very well. Faye Dunaway is exceptional as Mrs. Hudson. She's a tough woman who does have a heart that can be touched and who better to get to her heart than Rain who is a very special young lady. It's a pity they haven't made movies continuing this great, touching story. This movie is so good that I bought two more copies to give to people close to me for presents. They loved it as much as I do. My mother and I watch this movie at least once a week and we never get tired of it. The bad guy is really good. He can be rather amusing at times. He scares me from the TV screen he's so good at being bad. It's a good movie at a good price.

I enjoyed watching VC Andrews' RAIN on DVD. I am a long time fan of VC Andrews and Andrew Neiderman's work, but being an adoptive mom made me need to see this story come to life, and I was not disappointed.I read the four book series that inspired the DVD and feel that the story was written the way it should be written. When a person who has been adopted is suddenly plunked down amongst her birth roots, it must be a scary as well as beautiful thing to deal with.I have been through this with my bi-racial adopted daughter and I was satisfied with how this delicate subject was handled in fictional form. Bravo! And thanks a million! I am going to share this with my daughter, Star. Star, Rain...the universe is a wonderful place when and only when you find out who you really are.

I've read VC Andrews since I was a child. Personally I think they should have made a movie about the Casteel Series before the Hudson Series. I still purchased the DVD b/c I am a loyal reader. It didn't follow the story of the book which is normal for most movies. It's just that certain things were so off, like in the book Rain was into theater, in the movie she was a singer. I can understand changing some things to make it flow better as a movie but changing things about the character just seemed unnecessary and it left a bad taste in my mouth. If you are a VC Andrews fan I would buy this dvd just to add it to your collection but I'd recommend you DO NOT read Rain before watching it.

really enjoyed the movie

This was an unexpected treat. I enjoyed the performance by Brooklyn Sudano as the main character Rain. Personally I never heard of the film, but when I'd seen previews of it on another dvd I was watching I went online to order it. It was good to see actor Robert Loggia who'd always been one of my favorites. Faye Dunaway's performance as the grandmother was grand! And another actress I admire is Khandi Alexander from CSI:Miami fame. If you want to see a good drama with lots to offer, this is it. After seeing Rain go thru all the heartache, pain, and terror she did and come out on top was inspiring!

Good movie based on V.C. Andrews book with same title

The movie was as good as I thought it would be. Followed along the book nice enough. Can't get in all the favourite parts though. Delivery was quick.

Worked Great

My mom has loved vc andrews since vc andrews came out with flowers in the attic. she has all the books but had no idea there was a movie. Was a great gift, thank you

This movie was completely off the plot of the book that I would never watch this again
