“Anne Of Green Gables: The Good Stars” (*** out of four) was a winning retelling of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s blockbuster novels which was lovingly adapted into a 1980’s series of successful television movies. This time, Anne Shirley (Ella Ballentine) begins comfortably settling in with her warm and caring aunt and uncle (Sara Botsford and Martin Sheen) while becoming a teenager for the first time and beginning her interests with friends and guys. One of the rare remakes that captures the warmth and sincerity of the original and is exceedingly well-cast in all its roles. It’s hard to forget Megan Follows from the original from Ballentine is still first-rate in the lead and Sheen is terrific as usual.
