Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An unexpected glimpse of the drama in an disfunctional family.
Life is not an easy path to follow and this movie shows us one of the path with a rocky road. Cast selection is outstanding. Stockard Channing and Stephen Collins have a real connection that shows a real bond without the usual romantic mushy stuff.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - WONDERFUL FAMILY MOVIE
This movie is for the entire family. The actors all work so well together and even the children show a flare for acting. You won't find vulgar language, nude scenes or blood and guts in this one! What you will find is a plot that is well written and a movie that is a pure pleasure to watch. It is a heart warming film about two sisters who haven't gotten along in the past and now one decides she wants to try the "single" life. Stockard Channing is spectacular, as always, as the sister who is tricked ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Treat
It isn't now, but this used to be one of my favorite films when I was younger. But I do own it and watch it every now and then for a treat.
As for the performances, all are impressive in my opinion, especially the two kids.

Overall, this movie is quite predictable, but kids will love it and the strong performances keep it very watchable.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing
Amazing because Stockard Channing and the other actors in this movie make a made for tv movie something very special...Not only did I buy this movie, I bought the sequel sight unseen. I give my very highest recomendation to anyone thinking of buying this movie. Do, you will not be disappointed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A family pic - true emotions and solutions to real problems
Stockard Channing turned in a brilliant performance. The other cast members likewise turned in good performances. The script flowed smoothly throughout its entirety. If you enjoy family targeted drama that rivets you to the screen, here it is. It will make you smile, make you sad, as well as mad, and then make you tear-up with joy. It shows how life can be rotten and how a villian can change for the better. I give Stockard two thumbs up.
