A family sticking together through tough times, 7 October 1999
Author: kimr from Atlanta, GA

This was a real surprise. I found it hard to switch channels once I started watching the movie. The dialogue was witting and the whole movie charming. The movements between segments of the movie were abrupt but everything else I liked a lot.
