This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Mrs Washington goes to Smith should be shown worldwide. Because this movie will definitely inspire people all around the world especially the youngsters. I truly love this movie because of it's positiveness. It also implies, your plans will succeed if you're determined and put more efforts on whatever you do, regardless your age. Therefore, if you plan to go back to school/college, why not? No one ever stop learning, anyway. But this doesn't mean you can take your studies for granted just because you know you can come back again someday. Because if you have it in your hands right now, make full use of it and struggle as hard as you can. Although you may come across many challenges and even failures, but don't give up yet. Someday, it will lead you to success! Truly inspiring I must say! A worth watching movie, you guys!

We rented this film because of it's connection to Smith and were sorely disappointed with it from the start in regards to that aspect. I hate it break it to everyone, but the UCLA campus is not a good replacement for Smith's beautiful campus and nothing about it or Westwood look like the grounds, dorms, and classrooms at Smith or the town of Northampton. It's sad that they only felt the need to show actual shots of the college when it was cheaper to get stock video of the snowy campus than to cover the UCLA campus in fake snow. I feel like the screenwriters also didn't do a good job at research (or any research at all) about the feel at Smith and the romantic triangle was ridiculous. Really, they could have picked any sort of all women school and done this movie as the only links it had to Smith was the Ada Comstock program and the mention of one dorm. There was a good deal of the plot that wouldn't have worked if they had done research, like the fact that seniors rarely actually have roommates considering the amount of single rooms and that the Ada Comstock students have a house reserved for their use. The lack of traditions too is sad, even though I know a good deal of the traditions I remember are being phased out, but still, no Illumination night and Ivy day before graduation? Unheard of.All that said, it was a pretty predictable movie and I wish they had focused even more on the Ada Comstock program and the other students in that program. It is inspiring to show that this program is open to people and everything. I just wish they had done more research before slapping Smith College's name all over it.

This Hallmark Channel Movie -- the modern home for B movies with a human story -- is actually a gender-switching variation of the 1960 Bing Crosby vehicle, HIGH TIME, with Cybil Shepherd, dumped for a trophy wife, returning to Smith after a quarter of a century for her BA -- although without the flashy chapter cuts that director Blake Edwards put into the original.Miss Shepherd does her usual competent, straightforward job and long-time TV movie director Armand Mastroianni and DP Patrick McGinley manage to shoot the photogenic Smith campus and performances well enough. Corri English, taking the role of Miss Shepherd's roommate, has the ingénue role and she is very good, despite her occasional post-Valley-girl accent. But the script by Susan Rice is a little soft and easy, with too many things unsaid, too many conflicts solved by a short statement to make things particularly interesting. Still, the issues are real and, as with most of these well-cast Hallmark movies, it's a pleasure to watch the old pros steal scenes from the hot-looking youngsters.

In 1939's "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," James Stewart becomes that naive senator through appointment. There's no naivete for Cybill Shepherd as she returns to college following her husband leaving her and her children are all grown.In college, Alice Washington (Shepherd) is soon able to live a college life. She meets up a with a room-mate with an attitude, who will be cured with some motherly love. She finds love, and not just a crush on her English teacher.The film is really a tribute to all those people who return to college later in life. We have to take our hats off to them, while realizing that it is life's experiences that have made them better people.Cybill Shepherd is a much more mature actress now and she gives a wonderful performance.Naturally, only in motion pictures does the academic year go by so quickly. Yes, the film is very much cliché, but it's worth it.
