    Editorial Reviews

    Mary Agnes Donohue adapted her French success Le Grand Chemin for this American version, reworked as a vehicle for Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. Paradise is a coming-of-age story about a 10-year-old boy named Willard (Elijah Wood), who is sent by his mother to stay with her best friend Lily (Melanie Griffith), who lives in the Delta shrimp-fishing country in a town called Paradise. Lily and her husband Ben (Don Johnson) have been living in an unmentioned emotional vacuum since the death of their own three year old boy. Willard makes friends with the local 9-year-old tomboy, Billie (Thora Birch), who teaches Willard to be comfortable with himself. When Willard gains a handle on his own emotions, he can now help Ben and Lily to connect, overcome grief and rediscover themselves. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

    February 22, 2009: Can't say enough about Don Johnson. I have most of his

    movies. Also, own his series Miami Vice. Nash Bridges

    is just beginning to be made available.

    His acting is terrific. I compare him with Paul Newman.

    He acts,directs,knows the craft inside and out. He

    becomes the character.

    I recommend for purchase: Miami Vice Series, Nash Bridges,

    any and all movies starring Don Johnson.
