Heartwarming, nostalgic

"The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" played one screen in my town, and I assume it played to mostly empty seats since no one, not the theater or Dreamworks, took out a single newspaper ad to promote its engagement.

That's a shame. This is an excellent, heartwarming film that positively glows with nostalgia for the tight-knit family life that defined the America of the 1950s. Julianne Moore, hands down my favorite contemporary actress, stars as a small town housewife married to an alcoholic who keeps a family of ten together and solvent by using her wits to write slogans for advertising campaigns in contest after contest. Of course, it's a true story from the pen of one of her daughters, Terry Ryan.

Jane Anderson, who also penned the screenplay, directs with a sure hand, bringing out the best in a superb cast.

"The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" is a movie that deserves better than it got, and whose reputation is sure to grow through the years.

EXCELLENT FILM WITH JULIANNE MOORE IN TOP FORM!

This is one of those love it or hate it films, it's certainly has a style all it's own. The nostalgic story of a mother of ten with an abusive alcoholic husband is sometimes funny, inspiring and sad. Julianne Moore gives a wonderful performance in the lead role with excellent support from Woody Harrelson. Never one dimensional, this little movie works on so many levels, it deserves a place in everyone's film library. Hopefully the price will drop on this little gem soon!

A Determined Spirit

If you have every worried how to feed your family or how to make all the ends meet at the end of the month this is a movie for you.

Evelyn Ryan (Julianne Moore) must be resourceful with 10 children to feed and a less than useful husband (Woody Harrelson) - so what's a 1950's woman to do. Well, you enter contests and write jingles and with a bit of luck and a determined positive spirit things just might go your way.

This movie is based on the book written by her daughter Terry Ryan.

I really enjoyed this movie and the positive message that it sends.

Prize winner

This is one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever watched. I could watch it 100 times and never get tired of it. Julieanne Moore is incredible in this as is Woody Harrelson.
