I just discovered this program on Pure Flix. A branch of my father's family. The McCrimmons, moved from Scotland to Canada around the same time so this show is of special interest to me. The show is well written with interesting story lines. The actors are talented. I recommend this show.

This movie was okay. Ashley Rose Orr did a fine job as Shirley in recreated scenes from S.T. movies but not so well playing her off screen persona. That was probably the fault of the director. In one early scene Gertrude says that Shirley is 5 and the director tells her to say she is 4. 10 year old Ashley appeared to be an average size child. No way could she pass for under age 8. The vinegar rinse scene in the bathtub made no sense. Her hair was dry and curly when Gertrude rinsed it with water and vinegar. That was a popular way to make hair shine but it was done after the hair was washed. . Those two things made the movie less believable to me. I thought Hinton Battle did a great job.

This movie is cute and funny. Granted it is unrealistic but so what? It is a kids movie that all ages can enjoy.The pig is very cute as are the two kids. It has some very funny scenes with Gordy in costumes. It also has some good old country music. Boxcar Willy, Jim Stafford and Roy Clark and other country stars appear as themselves. It is a feel good movie with a happy ending. If you need profanity, nudity, sex,violence or rude and disrespectful kids in a movie in order to like it then skip Gordy. It has none of that. The only dirt in this movie is actual dirt on the pigs. Gordy is a good movie for those who like clean, lighthearted family entertainment.
