Not the Greatest Cast But Good Fun, 17 September 2003
7/10
Author: David (Handlinghandel) from NY, NY

Ruth Warrick does not exude charm. Edmund O'Brein is fun but a little strange in a comic role. The child is all right.

The plot if lots of fun, though, and some of the supporting players are delightful.

Franklin Pangborn gets one of the juiciest roles I've ever seen him in. He plays the leader of a bird watchers group.

I have to say, his role seems modeled somewhat on Charlie Ruggles's in "Bringing Up Baby." But the bird watchers' assault on the hideaway hotel is genuinely hilarious.

The whole movie has a sweet, friendly quality.
