Title: Sugary, gooey--sickeningly sweet
Product review: Though not intended to be, this movie is truly rather humorous. Why? Because the viewer laughs at the utter dreck unfolding on the screen. The story is meant as a tear-jerker, but instead inspires primarily groans and guffaws. I pity Mary Tyler Moore: she is a far better actress than the material she was given to work with here. As for Dudley Moore, at least he is not playing a drunk this time. Katherine Healy may be a gifted dancer, but her acting skills leave much to be desired. Though there is a definite lack of sweet family films on the market, this one does not fill the Bill, Mr. Tony. Rent or buy something else--anything else!
